Drug-addicted billionaire Elon Musk was, according to the Wall Street Journal, “angry” when he found out that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was joining convicted felon President Trump on his Middle East corruption tour this month and that it’d be then that Altman would ink a deal to partner with the UAE to build a “Stargate” AI server farm in Abu Dhabi and even tried to muscle to Emiratis by telling their state tech company, G42, that there was no chance the Orange Ayatollah would sign off on the deal if Musk’s xAI was cut out of it. When that didn’t work Musk invited himself on the Trump.
The Journal’s White House sources say they heard out Musk’s bitching that he didn’t want a bill that would benefit Altman’s company but then signed off anyway because Trump and his tech sack-licker, David Sacks, wanted something to announce before the trip ended. “Aides discussed how to best calm Musk down” the Journal writes, indicating it must’ve been quite a drug-fueled meltdown.
The reporting comes amid a shit ton of other media coverage and speculation about Musk exiling himself from the White House and, at least for now, from bankrolling Republican campaigns.
