company · Masayoshi Son's $100B+ tech fund; Palantir investor
SoftBank's $100B+ technology investment vehicle managed by Masayoshi Son. Invested in and around the Thiel network's technology ecosystem. SoftBank's massive capital deployment in US tech created significant leverage over AI and semiconductor companies. Son met with Trump in December 2016, pledging $50B in US investment — part of the same political-capital relationship-building pattern as Musk's DOGE involvement.
