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.

Of course, Ellison and Musk are close friends, with the former being outspoken in his admiration for the latter. He pledged $1 billion to the deal at the time of Musk’s takeover of Twitter and once served as a member of Tesla’s board of directors. Might a joint bid for TikTok by Musk and Oracle be more acceptable and harder to challenge perhaps?

The effort was described as a $500 billion investment in artificial intelligence. Read how a small Texas city with a population of about 130,000 fits into the plans.

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.

The President said he would be open to the US billionaires purchasing social video app TikTok as part of a joint venture with the US government.

President Donald Trump said he is in favor of Elon Musk or Larry Ellison buying TikTok as he offered his latest thinking on what a deal might look like to save the US operations of the social media platform.
