Trump staffers are reportedly angry with Elon Musk for publicly undermining the $500 billion Stargate Project. Musk has questioned the finances behind the AI infrastructure project and used his social media influence to attack one of the project's leaders.

One Trump ally told Politico that “It’s clear he has abused the proximity to the president” in his attack on Altman—which pretty quickly devolved from “they don’t have the money” to presenting Altman as a spineless flip-flopper who trashed Trump during his first term but is sucking up to him now.
