Thanks, Masayos-Susan, continuing his moonshot bets.

This time reportedly pitching TSM and Trump officials on building a trillion-dollar AI complex in Arizona.

Deirdre Bosa has more in today's tech checks.

So what do we know about this plan, Deirdre?

We don't know very much, Sarah, but it does say something about this race.

Like if you thought that $100 million signing bonuses, multi-billion dollar acquisition attempts,

if you thought those were aggressive, I mean, there's Masayoshi Sun, the soft bank CEO and founder.

He dreams bigger, he spends faster, and he leverages more than anyone else in tech.

This latest vision, Crystal City, it is a trillion

dollar bet on an industrial complex in Arizona to build robots and AI, a version according to

Bloomberg of China's Xinjiang manufacturing hub that would bring back high-tech manufacturing to

America. On paper, sounds great, aligned with President Trump's push to onshore infrastructure, and it checks all the AI boxes.

But in reality, industrial AI and robots at this scale, that is a massive leap.

Even Nvidia and Foxcon, two of the biggest players in AI in manufacturing are just starting to talk about deploying humanoid robots at a single plant in Texas, according to

Reuters. It's also just one of several massive AI moonshots that Massa San has lined up.

He is all in yes, but it begs the question, is he spreading himself and SoftBank too thin?

It certainly wouldn't be the first time. In addition to this latest potential $1 trillion project, SopBank is leading the

charge on the $500 billion Stargate project with Open AI and Oracle. Now, part of that may come

from $40 billion. Soap Bank is sent to invest in Open AI itself, but don't forget, also, it's

$6.5 billion acquisition of Ampere for CPUs.

Now, to pull this off would require some of the most ambitious financial engineering that we've ever seen in tech, leverage asset sales, outside capital, on a scale that would

make the original Vision Fund look quaint.
