Sam from OpenAI Urges Elon Musk to Put America First in DOGE

In a move that has attracted attention on social media platform X, Elon Musk and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, are publicly disagreeing about the Stargate Project - a new initiative to build OpenAI's advanced AI infrastructure in the United States. The debate not only reflects the influence of the two individuals but also highlights the fierce competition in the AI industry. Project Stargate and the goals of OpenAI The Stargate project is announced by OpenAI with the ambition to develop an advanced central data network across the United States. This is part of a long-term strategy to support the advanced AI systems that the company is developing. To realize the plan, OpenAI aims to raise 500 billion USD from major investors such as SoftBank and the MGX fund from the Middle East. Sam Altman, in a recent post, invited Elon Musk to visit the first location of the Stargate Project that is currently being built. Altman described this project as a significant milestone not only for OpenAI but also for the local communities. Elon Musk's criticism Elon Musk, the founder of xAI and one of the powerful figures in the technology industry, has criticized the financial plan of the Stargate Project. He believes that SoftBank, one of the project's main financial partners, can only "guarantee less than 10 billion USD", raising doubts about the ability to raise the massive amount of 500 billion USD. Musk also emphasized the potential challenges regarding the feasibility and effectiveness of the project. Feedback from Sam Altman Altman does not dodge criticism but responds in a diplomatic and witty manner. He asserts that the Stargate project not only benefits OpenAI but also contributes significantly to the US economy and infrastructure. Altman also emphasizes that the community benefits of the project may not always align with the interests of other companies led by Musk, such as Tesla or SpaceX. In his response, Altman urged Musk, in his role in the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) special forces, to prioritize what is best for the United States. Altman also expressed hope that Musk's increasing influence in technology and national strategy will bring greater benefits to the country. Competition in the AI industry Both OpenAI and xAI are actively competing to develop advanced AI systems. While OpenAI is seeking to mobilize massive resources from investors, Musk's xAI has made a strong investment, spending $12 billion on a single data center in Memphis, Tennessee. However, Musk is also facing financial pressure as he needs billions of dollars to expand and upgrade infrastructure. Impacting the future of technology in the United States The public debate between these two figures revolves not only around financial or strategic issues, but also represents larger challenges in shaping the future of AI and US technology. With both OpenAI and xAI having ambitious goals, this competition will not only be limited to social media posts but will continue to spread to many other aspects of the technology industry. Regardless of the outcome of this debate, it has affirmed the increasingly prominent role of both Musk and Altman in shaping the future of AI, while raising significant questions about how projects like Stargate can alter the global technology landscape.
