Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expects to spend as much as $65 billion on AI in 2025 as part of a “massive effort” to further the company’s AI ambitions. Part of the plan includes a Louisiana data center that Zuckerberg says “is so large it would cover a significant part of Manhattan,” he wrote on Threads today.

Zuckerberg went on to say that Meta is building a data center of over two GW (gigawatts, a big amount of energy) "that is so large it would cover a significant part of Manhattan."

Top tech giants are investing heavily in data centers across the country. Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t want to be left behind. Meta’s capital expenditures for this year are expected to range from $60 billion to $65 billion,
