Meet Masayoshi Son, the billionaire SoftBank founder helping fund the Stargate AI joint venture
- CEO and founder of tech and telecommunications giant SoftBank, Masayoshi Son has been a champion of AI for years and invested millions in some of Silicon Valley's biggest tech companies including Uber, Slack, Amazon, Tesla, and Netflix through SoftBank and the $100 billion Vision Fund.
- Son's view on AI is that it is central to the future of SoftBank and his investments, further backed by his plan to invest $500 billion into US AI projects through SoftBank, OpenAI, and Oracle in the next four years.
- Son founded SoftBank in the 1980s and has since invested billions, becoming known as a gambler who tends to place unconventional bets that tend to pay off in some cases.
- Son reportedly owns millions of dollars worth of property but keeps his family life relatively private which is not much known about.
- Despite his company's losses post-pandemic, Son remained optimistic and SoftBank proceeded to make investments in Amazon, Tesla, Alphabet, and Netflix.
- Son took a bold stance on AI slamming its doubters at SoftBank's World corporate conference in 2023 and has pledged to invest $100 billion into US projects in a plan he announced with President Trump.
- SoftBank invested $500 million in OpenAI in an October 2024 funding round while becoming Nvidia's first customer for its Blackwell chips in November 2024.
- Son believes AI will take the world to new heights and through SoftBank and partnerships in the tech industry, AI will continue to revolutionize so many industries from real estate to food to transportation through his investments in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
- Son's investment strategies are considered unconventional in Silicon Valley, which ultimately makes him a powerful and an important figure in the tech industry.
- Son's partnerships with OpenAI, Oracle, and President Trump indicate his interest and commitment to AI, which he believes is the future-powered tool that Softbank will rely on in the years ahead.
