Trump told Punchbowl News he had seen signs Texas appears to be opposing data-center construction and said that would be a mistake. He added he was not taking a formal position but noted communities that welcome data centers draw substantial capital inflows, that some data centers are striking buildings, and that they are economically important; if Texas says no, he said, it would be an error because data centers may be more important than oil.$Applied Digital(APLD.US) | ๐.๐ฅ๐ถ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ ๐๐๐ on ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น, raises PT to $๐ณ๐ฑ.๐ฌ๐ฌ from $๐ฒ๐ฒ.๐ฌ๐ฌ
