ChatGPT Down| Is the $500 Billion Stargate Project Connected?- Recent Updates

Users across the globe reported difficulties accessing ChatGPT. ChatGPT is the most popular and easy-to-use AI chatbot. Screenshots of the error flooded social media, with one user sharing, “ChatGPT seems to be down at the moment.”

Officially OpenAI confirmed the issue, stating, “We are currently experiencing elevated error rates in the API and are investigating.” The cause of the outage remains unknown.

This problem is getting more attention because recently OpenAI announced the $500 billion Stargate project, a major initiative alongside Oracle and SoftBank. The project aims to position the United States as a global leader in AI innovation, promising to create jobs and drive economic growth.

US President Donald Trump called it a “big money and high-quality people,” while standing with key figures like Masayoshi Son (SoftBank), Larry Ellison (Oracle), and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

However, not everyone is convinced of the project’s financial viability. Elon Musk the CEO of X and an advisor to Trump, said “They don’t have the money”.  Sam Altman pushed back on Musk’s criticism.

Altman pushed back, calling Musk’s claims incorrect and inviting him to visit a construction site in Texas. “This is great for the country,” Altman responded. “I hope in your new role, you’ll put America first.”

While the ChatGPT outage is a temporary hiccup, the discussions surrounding Stargate reflect the high stakes and differing opinions on America’s AI future.
