Trump says Mark Zuckerberg showed him a ‘Manhattan-sized’ AI data center

President Donald Trump gave a surprise shoutout to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg after his address at the World Economic Forum Wednesday. At a Q&A after the address, Trump recounted a moment when Zuckerberg displayed a map of a proposed AI data center facility overlaid against Manhattan. The project’s footprint, Trump noted, appeared to swallow the entire island.

“Mark Zuckerberg showed me a plant where he put it over a map of Manhattan, and it was basically the size of Manhattan,” Trump told the crowd of global elites.
