Elon Musk has voiced strong criticism of the AI infrastructure project announced by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The plan involves investing more than $500 billion into the development of AI technologies across the U.S. While the investment aims to strengthen America’s position in the AI race, Musk has raised concerns about its potential impact on global tech competition.

Musk, known for his controversial views, argued that such large-scale investments by private companies could lead to an unhealthy concentration of power in the hands of a few tech moguls, like himself and Trump. He warned that this could undermine global efforts to ensure AI development benefits humanity as a whole.

As the U.S. accelerates its AI ambitions, the rest of the world, especially Europe, is closely watching the situation. Critics fear that without proper international cooperation, countries like the U.S. might dominate the AI landscape, leaving others behind. Musk’s remarks suggest that the growing influence of private tech leaders over public policy could have far-reaching consequences.
