SoftBank's Son pitches $1 trillion Arizona AI hub, Bloomberg News reports

Spoiler: Full Text

June 20 (Reuters) - SoftBank Group (9984.T) founder Masayoshi Son is envisaging setting up a $1 trillion industrial complex in Arizona that will build robots and artificial intelligence, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Son is seeking to team up with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW), opens new tab for the project, which is aimed at bringing back high-end tech manufacturing to the U.S. and to create a version of China's vast manufacturing hub of Shenzhen, the report said.

SoftBank officials have spoken with U.S. federal and state government officials to discuss possible tax breaks for companies building factories or otherwise investing in the industrial park, including talks with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, the report said.

SoftBank is keen to have TSMC involved in the project, codenamed Project Crystal Land, but it is not clear in what capacity, the report said. It is also not clear the Taiwanese company would be interested, it said.

TSMC is already building chipmaking factories in the U.S. with a planned investment of $165 billion.

Son is also sounding out interest among tech companies including Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), the report said.

The plans are preliminary and feasibility depends on support from the Trump administration and state officials, it said.

A commitment of $1 trillion would be double that of the $500 billion "Stargate" project which seeks to build out data centre capacity across the U.S., with funding from SoftBank, OpenAI and Oracle (ORCL.N).

SoftBank and TSMC declined to comment. The White House and U.S. Department of Commerce did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The proposed scheme follows a series of big investment announcements SoftBank has made this year.

In March it announced it would acquire U.S. semiconductor design company Ampere for $6.5 billion and in April said it would underwrite up to $40 billion of new investment in OpenAI, of which up to $10 billion would be syndicated to other investors.

This week SoftBank raised $4.8 billion from a sale of shares in T-Mobile (TMUS.O).

"‘F*CK AMERICANS, F*CK ISRAEL’: US State Dept. Visa Specialist Admits to Helping Illegals Evade Deportation: “Don’t Admit the Truth, Don’t Tell Them What You Did”“I do say it to cab drivers that are from, like, Hispanic descent. I’m like, ‘don’t talk to the police’... If you want a loophole, keep your mouth shut.”“F**ck these people [Israelis]… I hate them to death.”"

This one is interesting since it looks like in the space of 2 hours this dude was fired and the Department of State is revamping their contractor screening process.


This might be the quickest I've ever seen a gov agency move. Alooooooooooooooootttttttttttttttttttttttt of people are going to be sweating this weekend.

Something from Ben Garrison.

The argument is gay and I've stopped responding to the thread I made. We wouldn't pave the parks even if the feds gave up control-they aren't- because we like those parks. We want less than 1% of land over 11 states. The argument is pure internet brainrot

Again, who the fuck is "We"?

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

Looks like the fag judge in CA will try another magical "I am a judge so I decree it" order to help his butt buddy Newscum:

Notice how he doesn't say "the immediate injunctive relief I granted is resolved, so let's continue with the lawsuit as if it were going to trail" and instead says "tell me how to do this thing I now want to do." This is the difference between a good and bad judge. Maybe the next part of the suit would be to move for a preliminary injunction under the alternative grounds, but he purposefully shapes proceedings to mess with Trump. It's despicable.

"Indians, Yemeni and Jews are conniving bastards".

Had he not said what he did about ICE officers, the comment section would be waaaaaaaaay different.

Iran's been within 2 weeks to 2 months of achieving a nuke for the past 20+ years. Come the fuck on, get some new material.

Imagine it like having a stack of lumber in your back yard. It’s two weeks from being a decent lawn shed but that doesn’t mean you are ACTIVELY working towards making it a shed. That’s what has changed recently (allegedly). Iran has had the stack of lumber for decades but according to the intel agencies they’ve started pouring the foundation

Personally, I'd just get one of those old prefab sheds the Soviets built and sneak it into the center of Tel Aviv.

Saw a video on Twitter where some rando walked into traffic with their phone to get a picture of an ICE agent's license plate. Dude jumped out of his car and pulled a gun on him. People are obviously mad because OMG, Ice pulling a gun on someone; meanwhile, I'm like, anyone fucking starts taking pictures of my license plate for no reason deserve much worse than getting a gun pulled on them. Not saying they need to get shot and killed; but break their fucking phone, because you don't know who they are or what they might do.

The greatest self own of the jews: importing browns that hate whites (jews are white to them).

And the whites that love jews are all dying off.

How are there no seminars for these idiots not to fall for these honeypots? `Something like, "if you're a mid level bureaucrat and this 10/10 white girl starts randomly talking to you, maybe don't start revealing incriminating information about your job in order to get into her pants."

 

[Autistic Gunspergings]

Native Americans almost always have voted Republican. Majority of Native Americans live in Oklahoma, one of the most conservative states in the entire union.

Native Americans don't want the country their ancestors lost become some 3rd world sh!thole. At least white people invented cool shit like antibiotics & air conditioning.

It's really funny to me how hard Democrats pander to native Americans and their general language just flow right through them like it's nothing. They treat them like they're niggers and just kinda assume they'll have them as a voter base without any second thoughts.

Using women to dig up secrets is a tale as old as time itself and it will never stop working because:

"me horny, if me impress woman with state secrets, might get access to vagene".

Sparta would've had their Discord logs leaked by Helen of Troy had they existed in today's world.

 

[Jarl Varg]

Anyone else notice the massive amount of NGO commercials that pop up now? "We desperately need donations, since our funding has been cut!". So sorry you can't embezzle govt. funds anymore, you fucks. Anyone who donates to these organizations is retarded.
