Zuck's $600B Hot-Mic Bid: Betting Big on AI and Water Bills
Mark Zuckerberg casually dropped a $600 billion U.S. investment bombshell during a September White House AI dinner with Donald Trump, admitting mid-whisper, 'I wasnāt sure what number you wanted to go with.' Now Meta has officially RSVP'd to the billion-dollar party, spreading the cash across AI infrastructure, data centers, and hiring enough pipefitters, steelworkers, and fiber techs to keep America hopefully hydrated by 2030 (because their new AI data centers plan to be 'water positive'). Since 2010, Meta claims theyāve made 30,000 skilled trade jobs and dumped $20 billion to subcontractorsābecause who needs modesty when youāre the tech worldās equivalent of an overenthusiastic toddler throwing bricks at the future?

Mark Zuckerberg couldnāt pick a number, so he threw out $600B to Trump at dinner. Now Metaās all inābuilding data centers that suck less water by 2030 while burning through cash faster than AI learns to pretend it understands humans.
Zuckās $600 billion plan sounds like a billionaire version of 'How many data centers does it take to fix a faucet?' Spoiler: The answer is āa lot, and donāt ask about the depreciation.ā
Declaring a $600B investment before knowing the number? Classic Zuckerberg: making tech IPOs look like game-night guesses and turning water-positive into āwe hope, maybeā by 2030.
