Donald Trump stated that major tech companies must cover the cost of their data center power usage to prevent higher electricity bills for Americans.Summary
US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that major technology companies must "pick up the tab" for the massive power consumption of their data centers to ensure everyday Americans do not face higher electricity bills. He blamed Democrats for surging household electricity costs and vowed to secure commitments from tech giants in the coming weeks, noting that Microsoft is already set to make changes this week. Data center power demand in the US is surging, projected to grow from 5.2% of total power usage in 2025 to potentially 11.7% by 2030, with AI-focused demand growing particularly fast. Trump emphasized that while data centers are key to the AI boom, the companies building them must "pay their own way."
