Musk may be a independent little cus...but I don't think he would openly challenge Trump without talking to him first, so a little misdirection sounds more plausible.
Posts like this don't get enough upvotes here to get real discussion rolling. Why would he do this? This Stargate deal was one of Trump's huge announcements about bringing investment into the US, he has been talking about this deal with Masa for awhile now.
Why would Elon come out and make claims that Softbank doesn't have the money and he has it on good authority? Elon really really does not like Sam Altman and has been in legal battles with him and OpenAI. Is he letting his own personal vendetta come before his responsibilities? Or is there something else at play?
Seeing how petty he was with Asmongold I would say it's likely the former, but who knows.
(snip) On Wednesday morning, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman replied directly to Musk.
“I genuinely respect your accomplishments and think you are the most inspiring entrepreneur of our time,” Altman wrote on X.
Yet Musk’s claim about Softbank’s liquidity was “wrong, as you surely know,” Altman wrote in a follow-up post.
“I realize what is great for the country isn’t always what’s optimal for your companies, but in your new role i hope you’ll mostly put [American flag emoji] first,” he added.
OpenAI and Oracle did not immediately respond to CNBC’s requests for comment on Musk’s claim. Softbank declined to comment.
Musk’s post about Softbank was “far off base,” according to a person familiar with the AI project, who was granted anonymity to discuss the situation.
“There’s no doubt” that Musk’s testy relationship with Altman was the catalyst for his posts about Stargate, the person added.
Musk’s comments undermined Trump’s announcement Tuesday afternoon that Stargate “will invest $500 billion at least” and create “over 100,000 American jobs almost immediately.”
“I think it’s going to be something that’s very special. It’ll lead to something that could be the biggest of all,” said Trump.
Everything is a test. It will play out. Everyone will expose themselves.
Let's not forget the allegations against Altman

Could this possibly be a distraction while the administration does something else? If so I’d say it’s a pretty smart move!
Don't know, but I think Musk genuinely dislikes Altman, so probably a real spat.

so probably is not truthful...
