Stargate is a venture that has the backing of OpenAI , Oracle and Softbank .

President Trump announced it would ensure "the future of technology" in the U.S. It takes its name from a science-fiction movie and TV show about portals that transport people to other galaxies.

But the project is sparking some questions and skepticism, including pointed criticism from Elon Musk .

Others have raised questions about whether Stargate 's investment will actually reach $500 billion .

Musk also has a public feud with OpenAI and Altman , alleging they violated the company's original mission statement by putting profits over benefiting humanity.

The new president seems less keen than his predecessor on imposing checks and balances on the spread of AI , he said.
