“Elon Musk Announces 500-Megawatt AI Data Center in Saudi Arabia with NVIDIA Chips”🚨🚨🚨

Today in Washington, Elon Musk revealed that xAI is partnering with Humain, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned AI company, to develop a 500-megawatt AI data center in the kingdom. The facility will run on NVIDIA NVDA $191.49 (+3.00%) chips, underscoring NVIDIA’s central role in powering the next generation of AI infrastructure.

The move highlights the growing interest of tech giants in Middle Eastern investment. Competitors such as OpenAI and Anthropic are also tapping into the vast capital available from regional investors to fund massive AI data centers, signaling a global race for AI dominance.

During the announcement, Musk had a humorous moment when he appeared uncertain whether the deal was for 500 megawatts or 500 gigawatts. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang quickly clarified it was 500 megawatts, prompting laughter from the audience. Musk then joked about the scale of the project, quipping, “That’ll be eight bazillion trillion dollars.”

This ambitious project underscores the accelerating expansion of AI infrastructure globally, particularly in regions with deep pockets willing to invest in next-gen technology. With Saudi Arabia emerging as a hub for AI and cloud computing, the xAI-Humain data center could become a critical node in powering AI innovations worldwide.
