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.

The new president needs the tech industry more than it needs him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
