White House asked about Elon Musk's criticism of AI Stargate deal
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt brushed off Elon Musk's comment suggesting investors don't have the money to fund the Stargate AI project during an interview on Fox News.
"President Trump is very excited about this infrastructure announcement in the field of AI, which is of his growing United States and it needs to capitalize on it because adversaries like China are very advanced in the field," Leavitt dodged when asked for the Trump's reaction specifically to Musk's comments.
Musk has repeatedly poured cold water on the $500 billion project, which Trump rolled out at the White House on Tuesday evening with fanfare.
Leavitt said that the American people should trust Trump at his word.
"So, the American people should take President Trump and the CEOs' words for it. These investments are coming to our great country and American jobs are coming with them," she said.
