SoftBank’s $100 Billion US Investment: Hype or Hope?
SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son pledged a $100 billion investment in the U.S. over four years, aiming to generate at least 100,000 new jobs primarily in AI and related fields. This commitment, announced alongside President-elect Trump, represents a significant increase from a previous $50 billion pledge. The funding will be drawn from SoftBank’s various holdings, potentially including existing investments. This substantial investment underscores Son’s optimism regarding the U.S. economy under Trump’s leadership.
