Datacenters, Elon Musk, and AI are all on the chopping block once Congress changes hands in 2027
Rage, rage against the dying of the right
This transcript discusses the impact of the 2027 US elections on the tech industry, particularly datacenters and AI. The Democratic party's victory is attributed to voters' dissatisfaction with corruption and the treatment of marginalized communities, as well as their anger towards the tech industry's cozy relationship with Trump and his administration.
The datacenter projects have been unpopular, with 45 out of 47 initiatives passing local ballots. The tech industry's attempts to rebrand datacenters as "compute campuses" demonstrate their awareness of the backlash. Additionally, 41% of active datacenter projects are in states that Democrats won, potentially leading to delays or cancellations in the future.
