Musk claims they don't have the funding

"They don’t actually have the money" https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1881923570458304780

"SoftBank has well under $10B secured. I have that on good authority." https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1881944244480565497

Sam Altman responded obliquely: “wrong, as you surely know” https://www.ft.com/content/b2899d25-9b16-461d-b406-89cfcadf3afc https://x.com/sama/status/1882106524090482701

Elon Musk is not part of the project, so his claims are just opinions and not fact-based. Sam Altman, who is directly involved in the project, provides more credible insights. Ryan York (talk) 02:11, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

~~Microsoft is not part of the project.~~ StockMKTNewz on Twitter is not a WP:RS source. Sources cited in the article say that "the project’s key equity funders are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. The key initial technology partners are Arm, Microsoft, Nvidia, Oracle, and OpenAI." No Elon Musk. ~~no Microsoft~~. Ryan York is correct.--FeralOink (talk) 16:17, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Altman and multiple sources cited in the article already say that the initial funding is $100 billion with possible additional funding of another $400 billion by 2029. I'm going to clarify that, as most of the headlines of sources are misleading, while the bodies of the sources are more detailed.--FeralOink (talk) 16:14, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article title is insufficiently distinct

The project doesn't meet criteria for including a definite article in a title. OpenAI's announcement mostly refers to it as "Stargate" without any care to emphasize the article, and news reports show no consistency in capitalizing it or otherwise normalizing the name. As such, the titles of this article and the one about the US military project do not effectively identify the subjects. And notwithstanding the presidential endorsement and the millenarian PR, there is no guarantee that this project will show much impact on the world 5 years from now. AI promoters can't help but write blank checks on themselves. 2601:642:4F84:1590:C060:68F7:6C2A:1CE2 (talk) 08:17, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is sufficiently distinct. Seems like you're questioning the notability of the article as much as the name. It doesn't matter if in the future, this project doesn't have impact on the world. It is sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. If there are multiple instances of "The Stargate Project" we can deal with that a using disambiguation page.--FeralOink (talk) 15:50, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
