Trump: Meta's Louisiana data center investment will reach up to $50 billion

Jin10 Data reported on August 27 that Trump stated on Tuesday that Meta’s planned investment for the giant data center to be built in rural Louisiana will reach $50 billion, and he was shocked by the cost of the project. “When they said a factory would cost $50 billion, I asked, ‘What kind of factory is this?’” Trump said, displaying a picture he claimed was shown to him by Meta CEO Zuckerberg, which compared the data center to Manhattan to illustrate its scale. “When you see this, you understand why it costs $50 billion,” Trump said. Meta had previously only publicly stated that the investment in the data center would exceed $10 billion.
