New Delhi, Nov. 19 -- Elon Musk has announced plans for his AI startup xAI to partner with Saudi Arabia's state-backed AI venture Humain to build a massive 500-megawatt data center in the kingdom, powered by Nvidia chips.

The project marks one of the largest Saudi investments in AI infrastructure to date and underscores Riyadh's ambition to become a global hub for artificial intelligence.

Musk revealed the initiative on Wednesday (November 19) at a US-Saudi investment forum in Washington, speaking alongside Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

The event also featured scheduled addresses by US President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, reflecting the high-level political backing behind emerging US-Saudi tech cooperation.
