Trump shares a post from tech advisor David Sacks arguing that requiring AI companies to build their own power generation shields residential ratepayers from higher electricity prices.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald Trump amplified a claim from tech advisor David Sacks that requiring artificial intelligence companies to build their own power generation protects households from higher electricity prices.
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “ALL President Trump was ahead of the curve requiring Al companies to build their own power generation so new data centers don’t raise electricity prices for residential ratepayers. Done right, data centers actually lower prices by producing excess power and funding grid upgrades. They also pay for better schools, more social services, and lower property taxes. President Trump is unique in his ability to stand up to media hoaxes. The data center hysteria will pass, and he’ll be proven right again. x.com/innovationcncl…” on August 25, 2026 at 11:42 AM ET.
