Yesterday, I spoke with President-elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory. And I assured him that I would direct my entire Administration to work with his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.
That’s what the American people deserve.
@Alex_Intel_@kyuu47427 Alex, what is your take on potential reopen of investigations on Lipbu’s ties to his Chinese investments in this political climate. Jensen vouched for him back then.
The governor-elect of Texas, Gina Hinojosa, has explicitly said that all currently permitted datacenters in Texas will be allowed to finish construction. This essentially covers all of the 2027 and likely well into 2028.
She is going to pass laws that ensure that all *newly* permitted datacenters going forward for delivery in 2028/2029 will pay taxes, commit to no increase in power prices for consumers, don’t impact water availability for people, be constructed with union labor and give “Texans a seat at the table.”
Sounds reasonable. She doesn’t want to lose a lot of good blue collar jobs and property taxes for small towns in rural Texas.
Datacenter commentary starts at 6:30 in this interview.
Also attaching her official campaign position from her website in the next post.
Sidenote: After watching a bunch of her speeches and interviews, I do think she is a political talent and probably has a future in national politics.

Quite a mistake from @business yesterday:
“Tan said bluntly that the market misread OpenAI’s revenue figures because the company’s underlying business is strong. Investors who sell on a single short-term data point are no different from gambling in a casino.’”
