On June 1, 2026, Governor Gretchen Whitmer attended a ceremonial groundbreaking and site announcement event in Saline, Michigan, for the massive $16+ billion Oracle/OpenAI “Stargate” data center campus.
The event was held to celebrate and officially announce the project, which is being developed by Oracle and Related Companies with involvement from OpenAI. It’s one of the largest data center developments in the United States.
While rural Michigan residents are fighting back against data centers in their rural communities and desperately trying to protect their farmland and way of life, Governor Gretchen Whitmer was caught on a hot mic arrogantly admitting exactly how she and her cronies operate.
In a newly released video from the groundbreaking ceremony for the controversial $16+ billion Oracle/OpenAI “Stargate” data center project in Saline Township, Gretchen Whitmer was overheard in an arrogant exchange with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk that reveals how little she cares about the people who “elected” her as their governor.
During a conversation with the Oracle CEO, which appeared to be about the controversy the state is facing with the slew of data centers Whitmer is attempting to create in rural communities across the state, the far-left governor could be heard saying, “We’re used to people saying no… and doing it anyway!”
