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.

So, while local residents voted overwhelmingly against this massive industrial project that will reportedly consume enormous amounts of electricity and water, Democrat governor and 2028 presidential hopeful, Gretchen Whitmer and the corporate interests behind it simply decided to ram it through anyway.

This Project Isn’t Only About Michigan’s Top-Ranking Democrat—There’s Also A Shocking Jocelyn Benson Connection

This isn’t just another crony project. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who is running as a Democrat for Governor, has a direct and massive financial interest in the deal through her husband.

Ryan Friedrichs, Benson’s husband, is a high-level executive (Vice President of Development) at Related Companies, the parent company of Related Digital — the firm developing this massive data center campus.
