Yes, but some data centers have their own power source… Like xAI using 35+ jet turbines in TN/MS for power. Surely the fuel is cost effective! (Methane gas-FYI they’re considered temporary therefore bypassing air quality safety laws too)

Of course that manchild put MACROHARD on the roof of something that is clearly built to compensate for his other…shortcomings…
It’s a pretty dated wordplay on “Microsoft.”
Still juvenile and on-brand for a cringe loser like Musk.
I think one of the silver linings of ai is that when the bubble bursts and/or they are able to develop more efficient models there will be a glut of power, which will make electricification cheaper.
That’s not how capitalism works.
Local power in major cities can’t handle 100% EVs in their cities currently without expanding generation. But as a country we have plunty of energy reserves.
