Stop trying to make fetch happen, Trump
Washington, DC – During a luncheon at today’s White House ‘Golden Age’ of AI summit hosted for tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, Trump tried to convince the crowd that Americans will actually love the unregulated data centers jacking up their utility prices and polluting their air and water.
His utter denial is just more doubling down to put Big Tech ahead of families and small businesses. In the past year, Trump and Republicans have supercharged data centers and allowed Big Tech to skirt regulations. Instead of listening to the American people and passing common sense data center policy that makes tech companies pay their fair share, ensures data centers are powered by clean energy, and allows local communities to have a say, the Trump-Vance Administration is railroading the American people into all of it.
SHOT: Trump: “You’re gonna see data centers are gonna be very popular.”
Elon Musk: “You have to have an environment that is relatively free of regulation”
CHASER: – Data centers are increasingly unpopular, with voters wanting more regulation and guardrails
