US tech titans Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos are taking a prominent place in the new Trump era, but another player from another era -- Oracle boss Larry Ellison -- is making a surprise return.

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.

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.

President Trump has announced a major AI initiative called "Stargate" -- but the firms involved have DEI policies that go against his goal of eliminating such programs.

Last month, Trump announced with SoftBank's Son in Mar-a-Lago that SoftBank would invest $100 billion in US projects over the next four years, creating 100,000 jobs. Those investments will focus on infrastructure that supports AI, including data centers, energy generation, and chips, according to a source.

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.

On his first full day in office, President Donald Trump announced a half-trillion-dollar AI initiative that will begin at Abilene's Lancium campus.

President Donald Trump said he'd be open to the possibility of TikTok's sale to Elon Musk or Larry Ellison.

President Donald Trump revoked a 1965 civil rights executive order Tuesday, rolling back authorities long used to prevent employment discrimination by federal contractors, subcontractors and grant recipients. He also ordered agencies to plan potential civil rights investigations against private sector entities who embrace diversity hiring.

“They have to produce a lot of electricity and we will make it possible for them to get that production done very easily, at their own plants if they want,” Trump said. “At the AI plant they will build energy generation and that will be incredible.” It’s unclear if building energy operations inside an AI data center is possible in practice.
