Elon Musk “very much” overstepped his bounds when he criticized a $500 billion artificial intelligence project touted by President Donald Trump, according to a White House official as aides are reportedly “furious” with the tech mogul while allies lament that he “abused the proximity to the president.”

Trump staffers are reportedly angry with Elon Musk for publicly undermining the $500 billion Stargate Project. Musk has questioned the finances behind the AI infrastructure project and used his social media influence to attack one of the project's leaders.
