Last week, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son appeared alongside Trump at Mar-a-Lago, promising to invest $100 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. Trump jokingly suggested that SoftBank might want to double that goal to $200 billion, to which Son responded with a smile, saying, 'I will do my best.' Insiders say that in recent months, Son has developed a unique obsession: how to create the next NVIDIA with his own chips and share in the hundreds of billions of dollars in AI hardware investments. This strategy may trigger widespread investments in chip production, energy capacity, and related technologies. Insiders revealed that Son's goal is to launch the first shippable AI chips by 2026, with prototype chips potentially ready as early as next summer. (Bloomberg) Previously, it was reported that Trump announced SoftBank Group would invest $100 billion in the U.S. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son expressed greatly enhanced confidence in the U.S. and hopes that Trump can make the world peaceful again. Son also committed to creating 100,000 jobs focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and related infrastructure, with funds to be deployed before Trump's term ends.
