The Information: Campaign rhetoric may not bring sweeping data-center rules

The Information’s analysis offers a less sweeping read of the election: it predicts Democrats’ anti-AI campaign rhetoric may fade once lawmakers take office, leaving companies room to move data-center projects forward. Texas supplies some of the signals it points to. AI investor Gavin Baker said Texas governor Gina Hinojosa’s plans “sound reasonable.” And James Talarico, after winning a race Elon Musk spent heavily to oppose him, praised Musk as a business leader and said he would work with him. Musk replied, “Nice of him to say that.” Those are political signals, not a settled direction for data-center policy.
