To be clear, I'm pretty sure the half-trillion figure is the projected combined investment between SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. Not public, US tax-payer dollars.

If that's not what you meant my apologies. Reason I'm quick to point this out is I think some of the writing/headlines around are suggestive of this misconception.
