Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had the quote of the week in response to a question from CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin about Elon Musk questioning the ability of the new Stargate Project‘s financial backers to invest up to $500 billion in AI infrastructure.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella confirmed his $80 billion commitment to the $500 billion Stargate AI project during a CNBC interview, responding to Elon Musk's funding doubts. Nadella emphasized the project’s goal of building useful AI infrastructure in the U.

OpenAI CEO Salm Altman dismissed Musk's claims and instead offered him to visit the first site, which is already under way. He said, "This is great for the country. 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 us first."
