On Sunday, the billionaire tech entrepreneur reiterated his earlier claim that OpenAI would struggle to fund and execute its ambitious Stargate project, following a new media report that the Sam Altman-led company had encountered hurdles.The Information, citing sources, reported that the planned $500 billion Stargate initiative, a vast network of AI data centers, has run into significant roadblocks, prompting OpenAI to adjust its strategy and pursue computing-capacity deals outside its partnership with SoftBank Group.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Musk Quips</h2>“Hardware is hard,” Musk&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2025726655587631184">posted</a> on X, in response to the report. “Those who have tried to do so at scale will understand,” he said in another&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2025746774015512877">post</a>.

As part of Stargate, SoftBank is developing major data center projects in Texas; OpenAI had hoped&nbsp;that one of them would become its first self-built data center. However, SoftBank has pushed to keep control of the site.After months of talks, a compromise was&nbsp;reached: OpenAI would sign the long-term lease and control the facility’s design. SoftBank Energy would develop and own it.Meanwhile, OpenAI bypassed the Stargate framework to sign a massive $30 billion-a-year deal with Oracle last year and has also deepened its relationship with CoreWeave.

Those fears, coupled with&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/amazons-jaw-dropping-capex-leads-mega-cap-techs-630b-ai-spend-plans/cZbn6vQR4nL">eye-popping expenditure plans</a> from cloud companies, have led to a broad selloff in tech stocks.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Musk Vs Altman</h2>Musk, one of the co-founders when OpenAI started as a research lab in 2015, has been a vocal critic of OpenAI and Altman. He sued OpenAI over what he believes is the company’s reversal of its stated business goals after converting to a for-profit entity; in another lawsuit, Musk has complained that OpenAI and Apple were indulging in unfair business practices by promoting ChatGPT on Apple’s App Store.Altman has routinely hit back, too.
