President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would be in favor of Elon Musk or Larry Ellison purchasing TikTok and giving half ownership with the U.S. government.

He previously floated a joint venture, saying that the US should be entitled to half of the app.

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.

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.

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.

Here’s another bright idea from President Donald Trump. He just expressed openness to the idea of either Tesla CEO Elon Musk or Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison purchasing TikTok, a move that could have significant implications for the app’s future in the United States.

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.

President Donald Trump revoked a 1965 civil rights executive order Tuesday, rolling back authorities long used to prevent employment discrimination by federal contractors, subcontractors and grant recipients. He also ordered agencies to plan potential civil rights investigations against private sector entities who embrace diversity hiring.

“They have to produce a lot of electricity and we will make it possible for them to get that production done very easily, at their own plants if they want,” Trump said. “At the AI plant they will build energy generation and that will be incredible.” It’s unclear if building energy operations inside an AI data center is possible in practice.

Elon Musk is clashing with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project touted by President Donald Trump, the latest in a feud between the two billionaires that started on OpenAI’s board and is now testing Musk’s influence with the new presidential administration.
