About this episode
President Donald Trump brought the leaders of OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank to the White House this week, and announced they will spend $500 billion to build AI data centers. But Trump’s photo-op moment was quickly dissed online by his Silicon Valley confidante, Elon Musk. On POLITICO Tech, E&E News energy technology editor Christa Marshall joins host Steven Overly to discuss the new AI initiative, called Stargate. Plus, all three of President Donald Trump’s nominees to lead the Department of Energy, the Department of Interior, and the Environmental Protection Agency are advancing to a full Senate vote.
