Former President Trump announced a $500 billion initiative called "Stargate" aimed at developing AI infrastructure in collaboration with OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle. This announcement came shortly after he signed an executive order to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, labeling them as discriminatory. Despite this, the involved tech firms have publicly supported DEI. The initiative has faced skepticism regarding its cost, with Elon Musk questioning its viability.
