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.

Musk, who bought Twitter in October 2022 and renamed it X, had started amassing shares earlier that year. His ownership amounted to more than 5% by March, requiring him to file a disclosure report. The SEC says the report was 11 days late, allowing Musk to "underpay by at least $150 million” for shares purchased before he disclosed his stake.
