Yes, whenever I see the word 'trillions' I instinctively know that it's some kind of scheme. Nothing and no industry on this planet requires a trillion dollars to build or will ever be worth a trillion dollars due to competition and the value that competition brings.

It's clearly a plot to put more control of world finances into the hands of the US. Nations should not expose themselves to such risks.

It probably costs a billion dollars to train a GPT4 successor. Might be 10B to train the next one. I mean it might require a million of $30k GPUs.
I think there might be some giga infrastructure projects, but we are not politically ready to invest in those. And by giga-projects I mean multiple continent spawning networks of actual high speed rail and power networks.
