Trump calls Texas’ data center opposition a “mistake”

Trump criticized Texas' decision to halt data center approvals, calling it a "mistake" in an interview with Punchbowl News. This comes after Governor Greg Abbott put a statewide pause on data centers connecting to the power grid, sparking concerns about the future of tech investments in the state. Trump's comments highlight a broader tension between state and federal priorities, particularly in tech and energy sectors, suggesting that his opposition could influence policy debates and investments. The move by Abbott has raised questions about Texas' commitment to attracting tech companies and its impact on the state's economic growth.
