Recent statements from Trump suggest that technology companies should shoulder the financial burden of powering their data center operations, rather than relying on government subsidies for electricity costs. This stance comes as major players like Microsoft have increasingly joined OpenAI in advocating for financial support to cover their massive energy consumption needs. The push for subsidies reflects the enormous infrastructure demands of modern AI and cloud computing, where electricity expenditure represents a substantial operational cost. However, the proposed policy direction indicates a shift toward market-driven responsibility, where corporations would be expected to manage their own energy economics independently. This debate underscores the growing tension between tech industry growth requirements and governmental fiscal policy, particularly as data center expansion accelerates globally.

Big tech companies want the government to foot the bill? Dream on... Pay for their own electricity costs; that's true marketization.

Ha, this is a typical big mouth talking sweet words, but when it comes to paying up, it's a whole different story.

Here comes the harvest again, big companies want to pay their own electricity bills? Wake up, everyone, in the end, it will still be passed on to us users.

Haha, Trump's move this time is just shifting blame. Big tech wants to subsidize themselves with their own money, and this logic is indeed ruthless.

Big companies want to freeload on government subsidies, and this time they got blocked by Trump. There's actually nothing wrong with what he's saying.

Haha, Trump's words are not wrong. Big companies are enjoying too much national subsidy. AI consumes electricity so aggressively; why should taxpayers foot the bill? Microsoft and these guys should pay for it themselves.
