Elon Musk questioned the timeline of the Ohio data center project supported by NVIDIA, which aims to meet OpenAI's growing demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Reports indicate that NVIDIA agreed to provide up to $105 billion in guarantees for OpenAI to lease a large data center being built by SB Energy, a subsidiary of SoftBank Group, in Pike County, Ohio. Musk responded to the report.
Musk posted on the X platform, stating, "The time required for this project to become operational will be much longer than they expect."
According to documents submitted by NVIDIA to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), its total payment obligation under the initial commitment is capped at $105 billion and is subject to certain conditions.
These conditions include the data center meeting the corresponding production delivery standards, with the first committed payments expected to take effect in 2028.
Additionally, NVIDIA plans to invest $1.5 billion in SB Energy, following OpenAI and SoftBank's previous investment of $1 billion.
The Ohio campus is ultimately planned to have a power capacity of up to 8 gigawatts, with an initial target of 800 megawatts expected to be operational by 2028.
OpenAI has agreed to lease the site for 20 years, while NVIDIA will serve as its exclusive chip supplier
