Elon Musk had sharp words for a private-sector partnership touted this week by the Trump administration to hasten the development of artificial intelligence infrastructure. “They don’t actually have the money,” Musk said of two of the participants in the $500 billion initiative, OpenAI and SoftBank, on his social media site X.

"Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great grandparents," Musk said, apparently referring to Germany's Nazi past.
