Greg Abbott is touting major technology companies' responses to his temporary moratorium on data centers, following recent criticism from President Donald Trump. Abbott once courted data centers, calling Texas "the epicenter of AI development" in November. In an interview with Punchbowl News late last week, Trump criticized changes to Texas’ data center policy. The company also announced the launch of a new fund to invest in water and energy infrastructure, educators and first responders. Abbott's political opponents have urged him to call a special legislative session to pass new regulations for data centers.
