#459 โ€“ DeepSeek, China, OpenAI, NVIDIA, xAI, TSMC, Stargate, and AI Megaclusters

Oracle's got the money. And then there's MGX, which is the UAE fund, which technically has $1.5 trillion for investing in AI. But again, I don't know how real that money is. And whereas there is no ink signed for this, SoftBank does not have $25 billion of cash. They have to sell down their stake in ARM. which is the leader in CPUs, and they IPO'd it.

This is obviously what they've always wanted to do. They just didn't know where they'd redeploy the capital. Selling down the stake in ARM makes a ton of sense. So they can sell that down and invest in this if they want to and invest in OpenAI if they want to. As far as money secured, the first 100,000 GB200 cluster can be funded. Everything else after that is up in the air. Money's coming.

Trump is reducing the regulation so they can build it faster. Right. And he's allowing them to do it. Right. You know, because any investment of this side is going to involve like antitrust stuff. Right. Like so obviously he's going to he's going to allow them to do it. He's going to enable the regulations to actually allow it to be built. I don't believe there's any U.S.

And so like, we've had this 1.8 gigawatt data center in our data for over a year now. And we've been like sort of sending it to all of our clients, including many of these companies that are building the multi gigawatts. But that is like at a level that's not quite maybe executives like seeing $500 billion, $100 billion. And then everyone's asking them like,

So it could spur like another like an even faster arms race. Right. Because there's already an arms race. But like this, this like 100 billion, 500 billion dollar number, Trump talking about it on TV, like it could spur the arm race to be even faster and more investors to flood in and et cetera, et cetera. So I think I think you're right.
