Does Sam Altman Need Donald Trump, or Is It the Other Way Around?
Briefly

The Stargate Project, announced by President Trump, is described as a massive AI infrastructure initiative involving major companies like OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, with a budget of $500 billion. While presented as a victory for Trump's administration, it is a private venture aimed at creating advanced AI capabilities. The collaboration marks a significant commitment to technology development in the U.S., although the degree to which it aligns with political goals is debated, as Trump appears more reliant on the initiative for validation in his leadership.
Although the project will likely produce many jobs and generate some value for the companies involved, it is hard to ignore the feeling that Trump needs this more than any of the men he was standing beside.
The new company—for which Son will serve as chairman and OpenAI will be in charge of operations—will spend a planned $500 billion over the next four years to build data centers, power plants, and other such digital infrastructure in the United States.
