By Devanshi Kashyap | November 5, 2026

Key highlights: AI infrastructure in the US is growing fast, but more voters, local communities, and new officials are pushing back. People are worried about higher electricity bills, huge water use, pollution, and who’s paying the bill for infrastructure. That’s turned data centers into an important political topic. The big November 2026 elections made things even less certain for tech companies who want to invest across the country. Candidates promising stronger AI rules and tighter data center controls won in several key states.

Elon Musk Says AI Could Secure Money For Itself As Savings Lose Value

By Devanshi Kashyap | October 30, 2026

Key highlights: Elon Musk recently shared two big and closely linked ideas about how artificial intelligence might change our relationship with money.
