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
In the recent US elections, the Democratic Party secured control of Congress and state governments across the country, seen as a reaction against Donald Trump and his policies. However, concerns over AI, datacenters, and the tech industry also played a part, as evident by market chaos and Silicon Valley unrest following the results.
The tech industry's close ties with Trump and Elon Musk's actions during his presidency fueled backlash against them. In local elections, 45 out of 47 anti-datacenter initiatives passed, indicating widespread dissatisfaction with datacenter projects. This suggests that the tech industry may face challenges in the upcoming years, with projects potentially slowed or halted in Democratic-controlled states, including Texas and Michigan.
