AI Billionaires’ Club: Musk, Microsoft, and BlackRock Go All In

A groundbreaking AI alliance as Musk’s xAI teams up with Microsoft, BlackRock, and Nvidia to build a US$30 billion AI infrastructure fund.

Editorial Team (ET)June 2, 2025

In a move that reshapes the artificial intelligence landscape, Elon Musk’s xAI has officially joined forces with Microsoft and BlackRock to develop a US$30 billion AI infrastructure fund. This strategic alliance, now called the AI Infrastructure Partnership (AIP), aims to build next-generation data centers and expand AI energy projects primarily in the United States.

Microsoft, the largest backer of OpenAI, continues to push its AI ambitions beyond its existing partnerships. The addition of xAI, Musk’s AI startup, into this elite consortium signals a new level of competition, especially given Musk’s highly publicized rivalry with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. With Nvidia also stepping in as a technical advisor, the partnership sets the stage for a global AI arms race.

Musk’s Return to the AI War

Elon Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, has long criticized the company’s shift toward a for-profit model. His return to AI with xAI last year was widely seen as a direct challenge to OpenAI’s dominance. By partnering with Microsoft and BlackRock, Musk is reinforcing his vision of AI development that is both independent and, in his words, “truth-seeking.”

The funding muscle behind the AIP is staggering. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, will leverage its financial clout to secure private capital, while Microsoft brings its extensive cloud and AI infrastructure expertise. Together, they aim to build some of the most advanced AI data centers in history, with a long-term vision of securing energy sources crucial for AI growth.

The AI Infrastructure Arms Race

The global race for AI supremacy has placed unprecedented pressure on infrastructure development. AI computing power requires enormous energy consumption, with global data centers projected to consume over 1,580 terawatt hours by 2034—equivalent to India’s current energy usage. Recognizing this challenge, the AIP is not just investing in AI hardware but also in energy solutions.

The partnership has already secured commitments from major energy providers, NextEra Energy and GE Vernova, to scale diverse energy solutions. The plan is to ensure that AI’s rapid expansion does not outstrip energy supply, a growing concern as companies like OpenAI and SoftBank push forward with massive AI investments such as the US$100 billion Stargate project.

Microsoft’s Expanding AI Footprint

While Microsoft’s AI journey started with OpenAI, the company has been gradually shifting toward independent AI development. Reports suggest that Microsoft is working on in-house AI models designed to compete directly with OpenAI’s GPT technology. This new partnership with xAI only solidifies its strategy to diversify its AI bets rather than relying on a single entity.

Larry Fink, BlackRock’s CEO, highlighted the enthusiasm among institutional investors, particularly pension funds and insurers, for long-term infrastructure projects. The AI sector’s capital-intensive nature makes it an attractive investment avenue, with potential returns spanning decades.

A Shift in AI Alliances

The creation of the AI Infrastructure Partnership represents more than just an investment fund—it is a power shift in the AI industry. The alignment of Microsoft, BlackRock, and xAI could challenge OpenAI’s dominance while providing Musk with a fresh platform to redefine AI’s future.

With the inclusion of Nvidia, one of the world’s top AI chipmakers, this initiative becomes even more formidable. The lack of disclosed financial commitments from each partner leaves some uncertainty, but the scale of ambition is clear. The coming years will determine whether this alliance can live up to its promise of building the next frontier of AI infrastructure.
