Democratic control of Congress is raising concerns over tighter AI data centre restrictions, adding pressure to an already struggling AI infrastructure trade as Elon Musk floats moving data centres into space.
Texas accounts for 27% of planned U.S. data centre power capacity, while CoreWeave, Applied Digital and IREN fell roughly 3%–4.3% amid the concerns, with several AI infrastructure stocks already down 50%–60% from their highs.
Potential construction restrictions could accelerate investment interest in space-based computing infrastructure while adding further pressure to traditional AI data centre operators.
