he was joined by larry ellison and softbank's ceo to announce they'll fund star gate. it's a 500 billion data center buildout and they'll helm and president trump trumpeted 100,000 jobs and joint venture says it'll create here in the usa, a flurry of stocks going parabolic on the news. oracle is the big publicly traded partner and up 7.25% and softbank higher by 10.6% and arm, designs the licenses chip architecture and that jordyty owned by -- majority owned by softbank up 14.6%. halo goes wider. ai server ma makers and supermi, dell, and arista and they're up 7% and at all time high. that halo effect though, here's the one thing, it did not reach elon musk. late last night, the tesla spacex and ex-ai chief took to x to bash the initiative claiming "they don't have the money". musk went onto claim softbank doesn't even have 10 billion of the 500 billion secured. musk tries to rain on that parade, take it straight to edward lawrence who's at the white house for the latest on the developing story. a lot of moving parts in the elon piece is pretty interesting. reporter: e

you are seeing that reflected in the surge in the stock price for softbank. we break that story down for you in more detail. european stocks set for fifth straight day of games. up to tens of 1% according to the european futures. ftse futures pointing to gains of 1/10 of 1%. s&p futures looking to add pretense of 1%. the nasdaq could get that left from the ai infrastructure spend plan coming through from the trump administration, currently looking to add 150 points. let's look across asset. treasuries relatively stable. the 10 year still above the 450 level. the japanese yen at 155. we look ahead to the boj meeting. decision on friday. economists expecting that they will hike again. the third hike for a way to. you could see by the end of play friday, the highest interest rates in japan since 2008. 0.5%. brent, $79 per barrel. a little bit of pressure on oil. gold continues to grind higher. for tens of 1% on the session today after rallying 1.4% for the yellow metal yesterday. 2756 per troy ounce. let's crossover to singapore. ondiro: yeah. asia stockades run

so oracle will be in the room, openai will be in the room, softbank will be in the room. the question is exactly how big is the total dollar amount that we're talking about here in terms of this investment, where will this money all go? and one sort of political question is masayoshi son was with donald trump down in mar-a-lago a month ago, promised $100 billion in investment in the united states. does this count toward that, or is this a separate bucket of investment money? in any case, the trump administration sees this as a big win and a way to start off the administration by showing the american voters that trump can deliver on what he said he was going to do which is create jobs, juice the economy and get things going particularly on a.i., which is one of the hottest and most important industries for the future, melissa. >> eamon, i think it's interesting, though, the backdrop of this is that u.s. steel/nippon steel deal was blocked because of security deals, and yet he is opening the gates to foreign investment in another area that can be argued is much more of conc

maria: that is funny and are talking about how much money softbank has on the balance sheet.he talking about the money not being there but is making a commitment. elon musk made a commitment of the $200 billion but to see the back-and-forth between the tech titans is funny. >> it is entertaining. it's almost juvenile but it's funny to watch. as it relates to softbank and whether or not they will be able to secure the funds, i can tell you i've been writing client review meetings the whole month of december i was talking with clients and there is not a single client that i have who is not super excited about investing in artificial intelligence and specifically data centers and all the energy that we need to provide power to the data centers. i will tell you raising $100 billion or $500 billion i think there is a lot of investor interest softbank could open a fund for this and i think they could have the commitments very, very quickly. maria: i agree, what do you think cheryl. >> is interesting kevin o'leary was on the program last year and i remember him telling you at the ti

and i don't trust softbank. he's put billions and billions into achieving singularity because machines are better running this world than human beings so there's a delicate balance that needs to be struck here with this a.i. debate, but going back to that press conference. tour de force, there trump. he's riffing with the press for almost 50 minutes while signing all these amazing executive orders that are really turning, writing the ship for this country in regards to energy and border and immigration and a lot of those executive orders dealt with the administrative state as well and bringing that back into under the duly-elected president. liz: sit tight for a second. let's show the executive orders, please, that president trump is now doing. you know, america is not used to this because biden stayed hidden behind a velvet rope for four years and kept america in the dark. >> well, let's remember. when donald trump was in the white house the first time, he would go and have those little inpromptu press conferen

look at softbank and what they have on hand and everything else, they don't have the money. something we can talk. no. they have a lot of arm. if we want to sell some arms. then you can have the money. >> if you don't ask it that we have not done our jobs. >> i can ask it if you don't want to. >> [ laughter ] we are not a commercial? >> sorry. that does raise the question. >> it's shocking. >> the numbers are going to be extraordinary. we know that. we talk about it every day in terms of what needs to be built to continue to support the infrastructure that needs to be powering all of these a.i. models whether they be the large language models are smaller models or whatever they may be continues. and you're seeing the numbers which are extraordinary. >> well, had there been a we are all our entering we know the numbers are enormous. you want to be in the data center business right now. at some point you may not want to be because perhaps some of these monies will not go for great return. everyone is running to do figuring out how to finance these things. private equity, every

at the white house, oracle and softbank appeared with president trump as he announced that they will enter a joint venture with openai called stargate. stargate will initially open a data centre in texas and be open to other investors, mr trump claims the deal is evident of his success in building america's ai infrastructure. claims the ceos were obtained to endorse. this monument undertaken is a resounding declaration of confidence in america's potential under a new president. let me be a new president, i didn't say what they did. so i appreciate that, fellas _ we wouldn't be able to do this without you, mr president - and we love that we get to. thank you, mr president, we couldn't do this without you. it was suitably impossible. the ambition is for stargate to raise up to $500 million for data centres over the course of mr trump's a second term. one of his first actions on taking office in 2a hours earlier, was to resend his predecessorjoe biden�*s plans for artificial intelligence. let's get more now on some of the other news coming out of the white house as during donald trump's

the stocks rallied hard last week thanks to softbank saying it was participating in the u.s. ai infrastructure fund. just to show you how the entire ai supply chain is getting forced into a re-think, this week furukawa, this a data center and cable maker seeing steep losses, tep also under pressure today. really that re-think well underway in the asia-pacific. tom: avril in singapore thank you indeed. with a check on the infrastructure around the energy piece in terms of the pressure. does software gain on the back of developments from deepseek? potentially longer-term question. to details, chinese start up has upended global markets, and we saw that in pronounced fashion yesterday as it's cost-efficient ai model is likened to openai in capabilities. the release of r1 has sent shockwaves through the u.s. tech industry leading to reevaluation of the economics of the ai investment boom. let's bring in bloomberg intelligence's robert lea. robert has been following this company about seven months, so he has been ahead of the curve compared to many. is this the multi trillion doll

as well as 0racle, longtime player here, and softbank which is run by masayoshi son, known as masa, andinjapan and he has forged a pretty close relationship with donald trump. but you know, what we heard is talk of infrastructure, talk of building the data centres that are so critical to powering ai and the development of ai. we heard aboutjobs, which you noted, 100,000 jobs being in the works is what we're promised — and i think that's an acknowledgement of a couple of things. first, how difficult it is to do ai alone. right now we have an ecosystem where there are multiple players trying to do this, vying for dominance. but i think ultimately from the federal government's perspective, from the us and from trump's perspective, the key here is to ensure the us is dominant against china in al and i think that's a big part of what this announcement today represents. we will look at the global race to lead in all of things ai in detail in business today later in the programme. let's speak to daniel lippman, politico reporter covering the white house and washington. hello. extremely busy ti

there next to the founder of softbank, so there is going to be a big play for innovation in growth inm the biden approach to ai regulation, which i think is going to pit eu and the us on a really interesting path around how to regulate this most magical of technologies, but a technology which can be hugely dangerous if it is in control rob lee. dangerous if it is in control rob lee-— dangerous if it is in control roblee. a ., ., rob lee. as you say, a magical technology _ rob lee. as you say, a magical technology -- _ rob lee. as you say, a magical technology -- properly, - rob lee. as you say, a magical technology -- properly, that i rob lee. as you say, a magical technology -- properly, that ofj technology —— properly, that of governments around the world are also pursuing. what do you make of the uk announcement, where does it fit in that picture you mentioned, the tensions potentially between the us and the eu? i tensions potentially between the us and the eu?- tensions potentially between the us and the eu? i think uk wants to go — the us and the eu? i think uk wants to go on _ t

mike: there is also a question about where softbank will get this money. they do not have nearly as much of that capital in their books. they will have to go out to investors and solicit some of that. the signals we are getting from marc benioff and from others and from president trump himself is there is continued momentum and that should help bring new capital into the conversation to help fuel what could go into stargate. caroline: this announcement that came yesterday alongside blowout numbers from netflix has helped the nasdaq power higher. big points contributors from netflix but also nvidia, which will be a technology provider to stargate ai infrastructure spend. big offering on the table for the chips needed to be invested in blackwell's future. we are also seeing key contributors from microsoft seen as a technology partner. oracle is a standout performer, more than 7% as analysts get their head around how integral oracle will be as the cloud provider of the future. i remember the tiktok argument, also ongoing. let's go out to davos. bloomberg edit

now the white house, oracle's and softbank appeared with president trump as he announced that they willnter a joint venture with openai called stargate. stargate will initially open a data centre in texas and open to other investors, mr drum claims the deal is evident of his success in building america's ai infrastructure, claims the ceos were obtained to endorse. this monument _ were obtained to endorse. this monument undertaken is a resounding declaration of confidence in america's potential under a new president, let me believe a new president. — president, let me believe a new president, i didn't say what president, ididn't say what they— president, i didn't say what they die _ president, i didn't say what they did. so i appreciate that. we would _ they did. so i appreciate that. we would be able to do this without_ we would be able to do this without you. _ we would be able to do this without you, mr— we would be able to do this without you, mr president l we would be able to do this . without you, mr president and thought— without you, mr president and thought that _ without you,

for softbank to be involved. >> that is new. that is new. and by the way, who are some of the other winners here now that openai is open for business for lack of a better term here? that's because they can go to amazon. to oracle. satya nadella last year said when they build these data centers, about half of the cost goes towards compete. nvidia. hp enterprises. all the guts of these data centers. the other half is the land, the construction, and things like that. so that's where the money's going, really. >> the one thing you want to make sure, you're not playing favorites here. it was microsoft who was in there first. if you want to look at it as a capital market, why are they the only one? now you're getting all the other competitors. >> sit tight. we're not done with this conversation. to me, the story may just be oracle. let's bring in another voice into this conversation. talk about sort of the microsoft impact on this because they're not the only ones involved. a lot of software angles. michael turran from wells fargo. thank you for j

a source telling me softbank is going to be leading this.earlier that softbank is expected to invest between 15 and $25 billion. again, these numbers could change. this deal is ongoing. the source asked to be not to be named because the deal is still confidential, and openai as well as softbank, did decline to comment. the wall street journal first to report this new valuation number, but it is a record breaking number, making openai now one of the most valuable private companies in the world. if you think about the context here, bytedance, the parent company of tiktok, is around $225 billion spacex $200 billion. so this is just a massive cash pile for openai to build out computing. as we've been talking about stargate as well, i'm told that this funding round could be used to also help fund that stargate joint venture, which sam altman was here in dc talking about just a week ago, guys. but that is the latest from openai. >> well, kate rooney, i thought deep seat was going to, you know, six hamsters and a guy on a bike and a wheel. and then

and he also tweeted softbank. which is. >> one of. >> the partners in this. >> whose ceo. >> was standing next to trump during this announcement. >> has well. >> under $10 billion security have that on good authority which. >> obviously you know that's. >> just one part of the $100. >> billion that they have. softbank would need to obviously put up more. >> than that. but as you heard. >> the white house pushed back. >> quite strenuously on this. >> not talking. >> about elon. >> musk directly. >> and i've. >> also actually. spoken to sources. >> involved in stargate. >> and they say. >> just look at the. >> earnings report. >> from softbank. >> the cash. >> on hand. and they. >> tell me that softbank is willing to put on what they called a boatload of. >> debt to also. >> help this. we also heard from microsoft ceo satya nadella. >> talking at davos. >> saying you know i'm good for my $80 billion. >> so kind of responding to musk in this. >> responding, he was asked directly about musk. and altman has also sam al

consistent with the noise softbank has been making about investing more in the u.s. to fit the trump narrative, perhaps not a big surprise, definitely openai needs cash flow and capital injections to fund its own big investments in building capability, investing in the technology. continuing to protect its position has one of the leading open source ai companies in the world. tom: a reminder that it is at least for now about investment in terms of ring fencing these innovations. matt bloxham from bloomberg intelligence breaking down the tech earnings and the implications of that potentially huge investment from softbank for openai. the federal reserve decision not a surprise that they held, but the language from jay powell was in focus, and he sees with other -- seems along with other officials, in no rush to cut further. interesting lines about how they are thinking about trump's policies. the uncertainty is one aspect that the fed and jay powell seem to be weighing up with increased attention. european futures, gains of 0.3 percent, after european equities punched

he says softbank doesn't have the money. sam altman replied on twitter, calling musk's assessment quote, wrong. altman added i realize what is great for the country isn't always what's optimal for your companies. he's talking to elon musk here, but in your new role, i hope you'll mostly put america first. musk was an early investor in ai in openai and has pending legal challenges against sam altman's company. well, here's an interesting story from the stanford campus. the university is dropping its case against a student journalist who was arrested while covering a pro-palestinian rally. stanford confirming today that it will not take any action against that student. this all stems from an on campus pro-palestinian protest last july. dylan gorrell, who was covering it for the stanford daily, followed the protesters as they barricaded themselves in the president's office. those protesters were later arrested. now gorrell was arrested with them, even t thouh he had his press pass. recently, advocacy group advocacy groups led b

he posted that softbank only has $10 billion secured. altman, who is often at odds with musk, responded directly, saying that musk was, quote, wrong. yesterday, ellison said ten ai data centers are already under construction in texas, with ten more in the works. okay, we have your back. that is the message for undocumented immigrants today from political and community leaders in alameda county. it is meant to ease some of the fear created by that flurry of executive orders coming out of the presidential office. nbc bay area's velena jones explains how the group is partnering with leaders and organizations to provide resources to families that are worried. oakland is united today. we are well prepared. we are not scared. we will protect our immigrant families and we will continue to thrive no matter who is president. in alameda county today, state, county, city and community leaders say they're standing united in their goal to fight and protect immigrant families from the president's promise of mass deportations. if you want to arrest us

the chief executivess of openai, oracle and the japanese investment fund softbank were with the president at the white house on tuesday afternoon to announce they will work together and raise hundreds of billions of dollars for building data centres for artificial intelligence across the us. called stargate, donald trump said the joint venture is a "declaration of confidence in america". michelle fleury has the details. for months, even years, openai, the maker of chatgpt, has been raising finance to build the massive computing power data centres that its artificial intelligence technology needs. in the past, its partner in this project has been microsoft, which is also its largest shareholders. now, openai is bringing other major backers on board. at the white house, oracle's larry ellison 00:00:59,664 --> 2147483051:37:14,546 and softbank�*s masayoshi son 2147483051:37:14,546 --> 4294966103:13:29,429 from japan appeared with also in the programme, trump revokes a biden scheme live from london, this is business today. dominated by the announcements coming from the white house. in artific

so softbank is an incredible partner. they see the future the way we do.nue our partnership there. >> and last question on deep sea. all of these open source models it seems, have really caught people's attention. if these are available to download and tweak for free, what kind of moat does openai have from a technology perspective? how are you guarding against some of that competition? >> well. it's two things. one, we're about to launch some models that are meaningfully beyond the state of the art today. so we're i mean, that that in. >> itself, we need. >> to keep running fast and keep our research ahead of, in particular, what's coming out of china. and then also we don't just build models, we also build products. so we have chatgpt that's helping people every day accomplish a huge variety of tasks. and you've got we've got products for businesses. and so it is both increasingly intelligent models and staying ahead. and it's. >> building. >> great products that help people be. >> more efficient. >> and productive in their daily lives. >> kevin, it's gr

we did report earlier today that softbank is looking to invest up to $25 billion, just softbank alone, and would replace microsoft if that does happen. as the biggest shareholder in openai, the journal was the first to report this news in openai. and softbank did decline to comment. scott. but record breaking number would make this maybe the most valuable private company in the world. it was last valued at around $157 billion. this new round almost doubles that. if you think about bytedance, for context, it's the tiktok parent company, $225 billion spacex elon musk's company $200 billion. if this deal closes at the levels we're talking about openai is going to break a record here and be the most valuable company, at least on paper, in the world. ceo sam altman, meanwhile, was here in dc today addressing deep. seek some of the challenges there and then speaking to lawmakers and administration officials, says deep seek shows very real competition from china and that computing power is more important than ever. openai has some context here, has been accusing that chinese competitor to ch

softbank is getting a gain right now of 3%.valued at just -- just -- $157 billion in october of last year after it raised $6.6 billion. so it's just exploit moding her. round would help sam altman and company fulfill their $18 billion commitment the stargate, the joint venture that was just announced with softbank, oracle and the trump white house to ramp up a.i. data center construction and spending here in the u.s. while openai's valuation skyrockets, servicenow is slipping a bit here. we've got shares moving lore. the cloud company is near the bottom of the s&p 500 despite a fourth quarter earnings beat. subscription revenue actually soared 21% year-over-year to 2.87 billion. it's the software platform's full-year guidance that's spooking investors a bit. servicenow said it expects fiscal 2025 the revenue to come in at $12.68 billion at the top end. that's actually below the street's $12.87 billion estimate. the software company has a hot a.i. business and is a major vendor for uncle sam. it's got a $482 million contract wit

open ai and softbank and oracle plan to launch star gate infrastructure project. they are expected to invest $500 billion in investment to create 100,000 american jobs. many in my home state of texas. first 1 million square foot data center will now be under construction in texas. and i just got to say, why did we ever have to have this, you know, adversarial relationship between the ai and business community? >> brian: lack of trust. >> lawrence: why can't you work with the people? that's what we saw yesterday. i don't know their political leanings, whatever. i really don't care about it. but i care about the country being number one, being innovative, investing in jobs and they were able to do that in a transparent way with the president of the united states. >> ainsley: trump rescinded the executive order that joe biden put on this industry, which means more regulations. he wanted more regulations. and so trump said no, no, no. we are taking this away. sam altman was asked about the safety of this. he said we do have to put rails on this but the benefits tremen

softbank announced between a 100 and 200 billion investment and the u.s.nomy because of election result and two dais ago, oracle, softbank and openai announced a $500 billion investment in ai infrastructure and other companies likewise have announced billions and billions adding up to trillions of investment into america and the united states. and it's also reported today in the papers that saudi arabia will be investing at least $600 billion in america, but i'll be asking the crowned prince to round out to around $1 trillion. they'll do that because we've been good to them. and i'm also going to ask saudi arabia and opec to bring down the cost of oil. bring it down. which frankly i'm surprised they did do before the election. that doesn't show a lot of love, but i'm not doing it. i was a little surprised by that. if the price came down, the russia ukraine war would end immediately. right now the price is high enough that that war will continue. you've got to bring down the oil price and end that war. and should have done it long ago and they're very respo

softbank telling fox business it dut have the money ready. you tell us about the money? >> i'm close to the deal. i've been working on it. i feel really good about where we're at. i think elon, he's a competitor. i want us to compete for the right things. let's sp compete for great outcs for consumerses and business, let's scompete for getting inves and jobs. let's compete to make sure we drive the right outcomes from a security perspective too. elon knows that. in tend, we're at the tip of the iceberg here, we are scratching the surface of what's coming. this is the a.i. era and so getting caught in distractions amongst ourselves just feels like it's going to slow down the bigger outcome that we're all looking for. maria: it's funny to see the tech titans go at each other. we should say musk is a co-founder of open a.i. but then he split from the company back in 201 #. 2018. last march he filed a lawsuit o stop it from becoming a for profit company, claiming they breached the mission to not be a for profit company. so is this just jealousy h

oracle shares up over 8%, softbank moving double digits higher, microsoft 1.5%, arm holdings over 6%,ors finding plenty of optimism on the first day of trading under president trump's return to the white house, all three major indices notching pretty solid gains. the president has vowed an american first agenda, overseas markets may still present some opportunities for investors. our seema mody joins us with much more on that story. good morning. >> well, frank, good morning. there is no sugar coating the fact that trade tensions and a stronger dollar make emerging markets a less favored destination for investors. we did see sentiment turn following trump's victory in november on these widening fears, but bank of america strategists now think that those risks are priced in for emerging markets. they carry the view that february and march is when we will get more certainty around trade and stimulus measures by china and that will help sort of the overall sentiment here. other fund managers we spoke to are getting more selective with hsbc's team selecting india as one of their top marke

and our partners, softbank, oracle and investing with mgx. on top of that we have the technology partner in media and microsoft has been very, very supportive and continues to support all of our success. this is not just for business. this will help people's life. this will help solving many, many issues, difficult things that otherwise we could not have solved with the power of ai. i think it is coming very soon and after that, that's not the goal. after that, ai superintelligence will come to solve the issues that mankind would never have thought that we could solve. well, this is the beginning of our golden age. thank you very much. >> i don't have too much to add. i am thrilled we get to do this in the united states of america. this will be the most important project of this to get this built here and create hundreds of thousands of jobs. we wouldn't be able to do this without you, mr. president and i think it will be an exciting project and do all of the wonderful things these guys talked about but the fact we get to do this in the unite
