We’ve begun construction on the $4 billion first phase of our Cameron County, Texas Data Center Campus, planned to support up to 1.5 GW of capacity. The project is expected to create more than 2,500 construction jobs and several hundred permanent positions.
We’re growing our team and looking for talent across the Valley to help build this best-in-class campus. Learn more: fluidstack.io/community/buil…

I came across this memorial in a small airport when flying home this evening and stopped for a moment to take it in
25 years ago today, our nation was forever changed. Seeing the names and messages here was a powerful reminder of the lives lost, the families forever affected, and the first responders and service members who answered with courage in the days and years that followed
Today, we remember those we lost, honor those who served, and remain grateful for the strength and resilience of our great nation
We will never forget 🇺🇸

Two days out. Steel & Silicon LA, this Wednesday, aboard the USS Iowa.
We build modular data centers on a line, at rate. We're hiring the engineers who know what that takes. Founders and hiring managers in the room.

Anti-datacenter hysteria is seeded and funded by foreign adversaries who want to destroy our way of life.
Democracy is delicate and will not win by default.
The X Safety team conducted an investigation into suspected Chinese inauthentic accounts involved in influence operations:
We identified a bot farm of approximately 200,000 accounts. Within this farm, we found 200 accounts posting in a manner that could manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy.
These posts contained claims that AI data centers are driving up household electricity prices and straining the grid. Others included AI-generated cartoons that depicted data-center operators enriching themselves at the public's expense.
We remain committed to maintaining an open and authentic platform where people debate topics of public interest. We take seriously any attempts to undermine the integrity of the global town square and suspend accounts that violate our Authenticity policy.

Fluidstack is hiring the team that will design and build modular data center infrastructure in-house. Data centers take years to build because each one is a construction project. We're engineering them as factory products instead, built on a line in Phoenix, so a data center comes together in months.

Data centers should serve the communities that host them. The bad actors must be stopped.
We support Governor Abbott’s guardrails, and Fluidstack projects prove that it can be done the right way.
My directive has halted up to 1,800 data center projects.
I established guidelines & guardrails to protect Texas communities:
✔️Data centers must not take water needed by local communities,
✔️They must not take power needed by the Texas power grid,
✔️They must lower the cost of electricity,
✔️They must not disrupt neighborhoods or rural communities.
These guidelines are now the universally applied standard in Texas.
