Masa named who the partners are. You can search for financial numbers relating to soft bank and other firms who are involved and guess how much capital they can realistically deploy this year. They are claiming they will put 100 billion to work this year and all 500 billion before this administration ends. I am skeptical.

Given that all of the capital and implementation is private anyways, I am not even sure why this was announced with Trump on stage. To me it seemed like a spectacle to help Trump in return for maybe favorable regulation on things like antitrust or copyright or AI regulation or whatever.
