On January 22, 2025, President Trump caught many of his voters by surprise by launching Project Stargate (1,6), and to be sure, this is not to be confused with one of the many covert CIA projects (2).

Here’s a part from AP-News: “Joining Trump fresh off his inauguration at the White House were Masayoshi Son of SoftBank, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Larry Ellison of Oracle. All three credited Trump for helping to make the project possible, even though building has already started and the project goes back to 2024.” (1)

This article explores one of these three men a bit more. We have learned that Larry Ellison of Oracle (3) loves an AI-controlled surveillance society (4). I don’t know anything about Masayoshi Son yet, but we are going to take a closer look at Sam Altman (5) here.

SAM ALTMAN ON TRUMP
In a post after the launch of the Stargate Project Altman tweeted: “Watching @potus more carefully recently has really changed my perspective on him (I wish i had done more of my own thinking and definitely fell in the npc trap). I’m not going to agree with him on everything, but i think he will be incredible for the country in many ways!” (8)

ELON MUSK AND SAM ALTMAN
Elon Musk doesn’t seem to like Altman and he even considers him a traitor. Here’s a post from Musk from January 23, 2025:

Musk and Altman go back some time. Here’s a part where Musk talks about the way Altman dealt with OpenAI and how it changed from an open source program to a 90-billion full profit organization with close source. Musk openly said in an interview with Tucker Carlson that he doesn’t trust Open AI, nor does he trust Sam Altman (13, 14)

THE DEATH OF THE WHISTLEBLOWER SUCHIR BALAJI IN NOVEMBER 2024
On January 15, 2025, Tucker Carlson posted an interview with the mother of Suchir Balaji, who had worked at Sam Altman’s OpenAI. Balaji objected to the way ChatGTP was factually ‘stealing’ copyrighted information for their AI-machine, especially when the application started to become a commercial enterprise. According to his mother, her son was killed because he wanted to expose this unjust element of OpenAI. You can listen to the complete interview at (9). Below is a short fragment from that interview:

SAM ALTMAN AND REID HOFFMAN (LINKED IN)
Musk also reposted the a Sam Altman post from 2021 where he praised Linked-In co-founder Reid Hoffman for his contributions for preventing from getting his second term in 2021. Reid Hoffman is known for his frequent visits to Epstein’s island (15). Also see (16)

(6) “Announcing The Stargate Project
The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately.

This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.

The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman. Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners.

The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements. As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system.

OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services. All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.” (7)

(12) “Elon Musk is right to call out Sam Altman’s blatant hypocrisy. Altman testified before Congress, claiming he wouldn’t receive compensation from OpenAI, a supposed nonprofit, only to turn around and position himself to pocket billions.

This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle. This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft.

This isn’t just dishonest—it’s a classic example of the opportunism that defines so many of these tech elites. The transformation of OpenAI from a nonprofit into a for-profit entity is troubling on its own, but Altman taking a 7% cut exposes his true motives.

It’s not about advancing technology for humanity’s benefit; it’s about enriching himself under the guise of altruism. This is the same person funding far-left media and backing figures like Reid Hoffman, who weaponized lawfare against President Trump.

Now, Altman wants to cash in while continuing to play the victim. This kind of deception reflects a broader pattern among the Silicon Valley elite: preaching fairness and equity while hoarding wealth and consolidating power. Altman’s actions perfectly align with the hypocrisy of the Biden-Harris administration, which enables and rewards these same self-serving behaviors.

Elon Musk’s transparency and willingness to hold these figures accountable is refreshing. Leaders like President Trump and Musk stand for honesty and results, while figures like Altman use rhetoric to mask greed and corruption. The American people are waking up to these lies, and accountability is long overdue.” (from https://x.com/TorstenProchnow/status/1882260248016138658)
