Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has announced a shift in his previously critical perspective on President Donald Trump. Newsweek has contacted OpenAI and the White House for comment via email.

Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are fighting on X about Stargate, the infrastructure project to build data centers for OpenAI in the U.S.

About 875 acres in Abilene, or roughly the size of New York’s Central Park, have been set aside to construct data centers, according to city documents seen

OpenAI's Stargate Project promises to build AI data centers and clean energy facilities across the U.S., creating 100,000 jobs. But will those promises be kept?

Elon Musk threw shade at OpenAI’s Sam Altman on Tuesday after his rival took center stage at the White House to unveil his ambitious $500 billion “Stargate” AI infrastructure project.

Stargate — the joint venture between OpenAI, Softbank and Oracle — is starting its AI infrastructure plans with 10 data centers in Texas.

Joint venture Stargate will be building out data centers and beefing up electricity generation to support the fast-evolving artificial intelligence scene.

Masayoshi Son of SoftBank, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Larry Ellison of Oracle joined Trump for the $500 billion announcement.

Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman differ over the Stargate AI project proposed by Donald Trump, which aims to invest $500 billion in AI infrastructure. Musk, the CEO of Tesla, questions the necessity of the funding while Altman defends the project as beneficial for the US.

Since then, Musk hasn’t hidden his anger with Altman and OpenAI. He’s currently suing the company over its decision to become a for-profit corporation, and he regularly trolls the company on X—the platform he bought for $44 billion back in 2022. All of which is why the past week has been hilarious.

One of the more revealing things to come out of the chaos was the response to DeepSeek from Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that makes ChatGPT. In a thread on X, Altman called the model “impressive” and said that it was “legit invigorating” to have a competitor:

DeepSeekR1, a new Chinese AI model, has disrupted the market, causing Nvidia's value to drop by $600 billion. U.S. leaders, including President Trump and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, emphasize the need for innovation.
