Trump Touts Billions in Investments to Create AI Hub in Pennsylvania (WSJ. 20250715)

President Trump touted billions of dollars in investments from some of the world's biggest companies to create an artificial intelligence hub in Pennsylvania. Trump made the announcement during an AI and energy summit at Carnegie Mellon University earlier today. Google said it would put $25 billion into data centers and related infrastructure in the state and the surrounding region over the next two years. Private equity firm Blackstone promised another $25 billion and AI startup CoreWeave announced a $6 billion investment. Plus, Apple has struck a deal with MP Materials to buy $500 million worth of rare earth magnets. The move helps the iPhone maker expand its US supply chain. MP will supply Apple with magnets it produces in a Texas facility and use recycled materials processed at a site MP will build in California. Such magnets are used in iPhones as well as audio equipment and microphones inside various Apple products. MP said shipments are expected to begin in 2027. Finally, Tesla's VP of Sales, Service, and Delivery in North America has left the company. That's according to people familiar with the matter. Troy Jones had been with the electric car maker for 15 years. It's the latest high-level departure at Tesla. Less than a month ago top aid to CEO Elon Musk and top AI executive Omead Afshar left the company. Tesla has been facing declining sales and shrinking margins amid increased competition and pressure on its brand stemming from Musk's stint in politics.

MP는 Apple에게 텍사스 주에서 생산한 자석을 제공하고, 캘리포니아에 지을 부지에서 처리되는 재활용 자재를 사용할 것임. 이 자석은 여러 Apple 제품에 사용됨. 선적은 2027년부터 시작됨. 한편, Tesla의 북미 판매 총괄이 15년 재직 후 사임함. 지난 달 AI 임원도 사임했음. 머스크의 정치활동 때문에 경쟁이 치열해지고 브랜드에 대한 압박이 증가하고 있는 가운데 Tesla의 매출과 이익이 감소함
