Elon Musk asked a judge to block OpenAI's attempt to transition from nonprofit to for-profit. It's not the first time he's feuded with CEO Sam Altman.

Elon Musk is clashing with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project touted by President Donald Trump, the latest in a feud between the two tech billionaires that started on OpenAI's board and is now testing Musk's influence with the new president.

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

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.

The Stargate project, announced as a $500 billion initiative to create advanced AI systems and job opportunities, has drawn both skepticism and support. While Musk continues to criticize the venture’s funding, Altman maintains that the project is on track and aims to benefit the country significantly.

Altman said that a project like Stargate might not have been possible with "a different president."

World Network (WLD) was one of the cryptocurrency market's biggest gainers on Wednesday amid the hype surrounding OpenAI's ambitious $500 billion Project Stargate.

OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and MGX are the lead partners in Stargate, according to OpenAI.

The disagreement centres around claims made by Musk that the funds promised for the project might not be available as expected.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will brief U.S. officials on super-agents—AI systems set to revolutionize software development, finance, and event planning.

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 Although the lawsuit was withdrawn in June, Musk refiled it in August, further intensifying the conflict.

Despite Elon Musk’s close ties to Trump, he was notably excluded from the venture, with Altman taking the lead role instead
