Some of the biggest names in technology have clashed after President Donald Trump unveiled his $500 billion private AI investment project.

Microsoft is forming a new group focused on developing AI apps and providing tools for third-party customers, the company announced Monday.

When asked about the spat between Elon Musk and Open AI CEO Sam Altman during an interview, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella said, "All I know is, I'm good for my USD 80 billion. I’m going to spend USD 80 billion building out Azure".

The Information claims that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was forced to make a decision in the middle of the pandemic regarding their gaming business. In 2021, the company was already pushing their Game Pass subscription business, but Satya was seriously considering closing their gaming business in general.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that the money Elon Musk referred to is for building useful things and not 'hyping' AI.

Chris Young, who joined Microsoft in 2020, worked on the software company’s investments, its OpenAI relationship and the Activision Blizzard acquisition.

CEO Satya Nadella is one executive who is publicly praising the potential for AI agents. But could Nadella's recent comments about AI agents mean huge trouble for two stocks -- Fiverr (NYSE: FVRR) and Upwork (NASDAQ: UPWK)?

Satya Nadella replied to Elon Musk's X post, saying, “And all this money is not about hyping AI, but is about building useful things for the real world."

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has distanced himself from Elon Musk and Sam Altman's dispute about funding for the President Trump-backed Stargate project.

Elon Musk reacted to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s comments regarding the $500 billion Stargate AI project, questioning its funding. Nadella affirmed Microsoft’s investment.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman shared a longstanding feud ever since Musk, who co-founded OpenAI with Altman in 2015, split from the company.
