Trump: Meta's Louisiana data center investment will reach up to $50 billion
Jin10 reported on August 27 that Trump said on Tuesday that Meta plans to invest $50 billion in a giant data center to be built in rural Louisiana, and he was shocked by the project's cost. "When they say a factory will cost $50 billion, I ask, 'What kind of factory is that?'" Trump said, showing a picture he claimed was given to him by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, which compared the data center to Manhattan to illustrate its scale. "When you see this, you'll understand why it costs $50 billion," Trump said. Meta had previously only publicly stated that its investment in the data center would exceed $10 billion.
