Washington – President Donald Trump spoke on Tuesday a joint investment company of up to $ 500 billion for infrastructure related to synthetic intelligence through a new form in shape through Openai, Oracle and Softbank.
The new entity, Stargate, will begin the centers of knowledge of the construction and the generation of strength necessary for the additional progression of the in -evolution in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $ 100 billion and can succeed five times that amount. .
“It’s wonderful cash and high-quality people,” Trump said, adding that it’s “a resounding statement of confidence in America’s outlook” under his new administration.
Shortly after the Trump announcement, the Development Corporation of Abilene said in a written statement that the multi-billion dollar initiative would immediately allocate $100 billion to “establish critical AI infrastructure across the United States, starting in Abilene, Texas.”

Joining Trump fresh off his inauguration at the White House were Masayoshi Son of SoftBank, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Larry Ellison of Oracle. All three credited Trump for helping to make the project possible, even though building has already started and the project goes back to 2024.
“It will be the maximum allocation of that time,” said Altman, CEO of OpenAi.
Ellison said that the knowledge centers are already under structure with 10 low structure so far. The president of Oracle reported that the task is also similar to the records of virtual aptitude and would make it less difficult to treat diseases such as cancer through a personalized vaccine.
“This is the beginning of the Golden Age,” said his son, referring to Trump’s inaugural discourse that the United States would be in a “golden age” with him in the White House.
They are, a multimillionaire based in Japan, already committed in December to invest $ 100 billion in US projects in the next 4 years. In the past, committed to $ 50 billion in a new investment before Trump’s first mandate, which included a giant participation in the suffering office -arystricing corporate Wework.
While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout in data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI, which holds the promise of increasing productivity by automating work but also the risk of displacing jobs if poorly implemented.
Initial plans for Stargate are returning to the Biden administration. Technology data reported on the allocation in March 2024. Openai has long relied on Microsoft’s knowledge centers to build its AI systems, however, it has shown interest in building its own knowledge centers.
OpenAI wrote in a letter to the Biden administration’s Commerce Department last fall that planning and permitting for such projects “can be lengthy and complex, particularly for energy infrastructure.”
Other partners in the task come with Microsoft, investor MGX and chipmakers ARM and NVIDIA, according to separate statements from Oracle and OpenAI.
The push to build knowledge hubs before Trump’s presidency. Last October, Blackstone’s monetary corporation estimated that the United States would see $1 billion invested in five-year knowledge centers, $1 billion invested internationally.
These investment estimates recommend that a giant component of the new capital pass through Stargate because OpenAi has established itself as an industry leader with the 2022 launch of its chatpt, a chatbot that captured the eye of the public mind with its ability to answer complex questions and carry out fundamental tasks.
The White House has the ease of construction new electricity productions in advance of the expansion of AI, knowing that the United States is in a competitive race opposed to China to expand the generation of increasingly followed through companies.
However, IA regulatory clients remain uncertain, because Trump canceled the order in 2023 signed through the president of Monday, Joe Biden runs the risk of national security and economic well -being.
CBS News first reported that Trump would be announcing the AI investment.
Trump supporter Elon Musk values more than $400 billion, an early investor in OpenAI, but has since defied its transition to for-profit prestige and introduced his own AI company, XAI. Musk is also on the “Department of Government Effectiveness” rate officially created Monday through Trump to decrease government spending.
Trump in the past announced in January an investment of $ 20 billion through Damac Properties in the United Arab Emirates to build AI -related knowledge centers.
