Trump was joined by Oracle founder Larry Ellison, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, who said the investment would start with $100 billion, plus a goal of $500

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Oracle founder Larry Ellison and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son comment on President Trump’s Stargate AI investment project in an interview with FOX News anchor Bret Baier on ‘Special Report.

The Silicon Valley is rife with rich and powerful men who have a philosophical commitment to "longtermism" which entails re-engineering the human organism. An expert in existential risk says we shouldn't dismiss the "dangerous" ideologies linked to this view of the future.

President Donald Trump talked up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to AI by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank.

Yes, that's the name of a 1994 Roland Emmerich movie. It's now a big infrastructure project to help power tech giants' foray into AI.

Masayoshi Son founded SoftBank in 1981. It has invested millions in some of Silicon Valley's biggest tech companies.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, sparred Wednesday with Elon Musk over funding for a Trump-backed AI infrastructure project one day after he stood with the president in the White House to announce the project.

The $500 billion Stargate Initiative — led by Trump, OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle — is set to revolutionize U.S. AI infrastructure.

President Trump and Elon Musk aren’t an exclusive item. That point was clear this week when the president welcomed OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman to the White House on the second day of Trump 2.0—a visit that left “First Buddy" Musk publicly fuming.

Trump announced Tuesday that OpenAI, Softbank and Oracle would join forces to create Stargate, a new company investing $500 billion in AI infrastructure.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Stargate, “the most important project for this era” and promised that all of the new investment his company was making would help cure diseases. Altman was actually prompted by Trump to talk about the medical advances that AI would supposedly figure out.

Masayoshi Son of SoftBank, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Larry Ellison of Oracle joined Trump for the $500 billion announcement.
