AI city?
they're planning to build these absolutely massive data centers...
Hello folks!!
Whoa - Trump's wasting no time after getting sworn in as POTUS again.
Just dropped a bombshell announcement about a $500 billion AI initiative called "Stargate," partnering with some serious heavy hitters: Oracle, SoftBank, and OpenAI. We're talking about some of the biggest names in tech here.
The whole thing feels like classic Trump - go big or go home.
They're planning to build these absolutely massive data centers, starting with 10 of them in Texas.
Each one is like a small city of servers, we're talking half a million square feet each. That's wild.
The interesting part?
Larry Ellison from Oracle straight-up admitted they wouldn't do this without Trump winning. In fact, they apparently signed the deal just yesterday. SoftBank's CEO Masayoshi Son is all in too, committing $100 billion right off the bat.
Sam Altman from OpenAI's presence is particularly intriguing.
For all his previous caution about AI development, he's now part of this massive push. They're talking about using this for everything from healthcare to who knows what else.
Trump's playing this perfectly into his "America First" narrative - he's framing it as keeping tech dominance away from China.
The timing is definitely strategic - dropping this bomb right after taking office sends a clear message about his tech and economic agenda.
Whether this actually delivers the promised 100,000 jobs "almost immediately" remains to be seen, but you can't deny it's a power move.

A Twitter user tested the same prompt on two different AI website builders (Rollout and Bolt)—here’s how they performed:
