"I genuinely respect your accomplishments and think you are the most inspiring entrepreneur of our time," Altman wrote in an X post to Musk.

San Francisco, Jan 23 (IANS) The xAI owner Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are fighting on X about Stargate, the enormous infrastructure project to build data centres for OpenAI across the US.

Tech stocks enjoyed a surge Wednesday, driven by a sharp rise in semiconductor shares after President Donald Trump, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Oracle Corp. (NYSE:ORCL) co-founder Larry Ellison, and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son unveiled the Stargate Project on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that OpenAI, SoftBank Group and Oracle (ORCL.N) will unveil Stargate and invest $500 billion over the next four years to help the United States stay ahead of China and other rivals in the global AI race.

The Trump Administration has announced an AI infrastructure joint venture in the U.S. named “Stargate,” comprised of OpenAI, SoftBank Group (OTC:SFTBF) (OTC:SFTBY), Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL), and Abu Dhabi’s MGX.

Oracle stock jumped 6% on a report that Trump plans to announce billions of dollars in private sector investment to build artificial intelligence infrastructure in the US.

Musk’s criticisms have escalated into legal actions. In February, he filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing it of breaching its nonprofit mandate. Although the lawsuit was withdrawn in June, Musk refiled it in August, further intensifying the conflict.

Shares of AI-related tech companies are trading higher Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a $500 billion AI infrastructure investment called Project Stargate.

Quantum computing stocks popped Tuesday, Jan. 21 in response to President Donald Trump’s newly announced Stargate program. The joint venture between Oracle (ORCL), SoftBank (SFTBY), and OpenAI is intended to invest $500 billion into artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure in the U.S.
