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.

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.

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.

Oracle founder Larry Ellison said the Stargate project, a joint venture with OpenAI and Softbank, will help to fuel the development of a cancer vaccine.

Trump announced Tuesday that OpenAI, Softbank and Oracle would join forces to create Stargate, a new company investing $500 billion in AI infrastructure.

The $500B Stargate Initiative, led by Trump, OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, is set to revolutionize U.S. AI infrastructure.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a private sector investment of up to $500 billion to fund infrastructure for artificial intelligence, aiming to outpace rival nations in the business-critical technology.

Masayoshi Son of SoftBank, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Larry Ellison of Oracle joined Trump for the $500 billion announcement.

President Trump dismissed Elon Musk’s doubts about the $500 billion “Stargate” AI project, citing personal differences. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman defended the project and invited Musk to visit the construction site.
