“Trump announced the project on day two of his presidency, standing alongside three of the most powerful men in tech: Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle, and Masayoshi Son, chair of Softbank.
Details were relatively sparse; we learned that funding would come from the technology arm of the UAE’s sovereign wealth fund and that $100 billion of investment would be promised for the first year”
Trump himself has said that his involvement in the project is because of an “emergency” situation.
“By treating it as an emergency, Trump and his government may be able to quickly remove regulatory obstacles or divert funds to the project in order to see results sooner.
He’s made it clear that he considers it vital for US national interests that the country maintains its position as a world leader in AI technology. He will definitely be aware of the fact that other countries, most notably China, but also the UK and members of the EU, are also pouring huge amounts of investment into research and development.
The US already leads the world in terms of AI funding, with $70 billion flowing into initiatives in 2024 compared to under $30 billion across the rest of the world (with around $20 billion of that in China). If it happens, this new investment will keep the country firmly in first place.”

its been worked on since last year. At best, I think Trump just played a role in upping the $$$ attached. But the data center and all was always in the works and you can find articles from last year mentioning at least $100B
