德州数十年来首次选出民主党籍州长和联邦参议员,给该州蓬勃发展的人工智能数据中心行业及其最著名的科技领袖埃隆·马斯克带来潜在的不确定性。

Texas elected Democrats for governor and the U.S. Senate for the first time in decades, creating potential uncertainty for the state’s booming AI data center sector and its most prominent tech leader, Elon Musk.

德州民主党籍联邦众议员吉娜·伊诺霍萨在州长选击败现任共和党州长格雷格·阿博特;德州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科在联邦参议员选击败共和党人肯·帕克斯顿。

Gina Hinojosa, a Democratic congresswoman from the state, was projected to win the Texas governor’s race, prevailing over incumbent Republican governor Greg Abbott. And James Talarico, a Democratic member of the state’s House of Representatives, was projected to defeat Republican Ken Paxton in a race for a U.S. Senate seat.

伊诺霍萨在竞选中将暂停发放新数据中心许可作为核心主张之一,并呼吁取消对这些设施的税收优惠。阿博特在9月也宣布暂停部分数据中心建设。塔拉里科同样主张加强对数据中心的监管。

Hinojosa made a proposed moratorium on new data center permits a centerpiece of her campaign against Abbott, along with a call to end tax incentives for the facilities. Abbott, too, announced a moratorium on some data center construction in September. Talarico has also advocated for more data center regulation.

选举结果对马斯克可能尤为尴尬,据报道他在中期选举中捐赠近4.5亿美元支持共和党候选人。近年来,马斯克将其两家最重要公司SpaceX和特斯拉的总部均迁至德州。SpaceX在德州南部设有新型火箭“星舰”的主要发射场,马斯克还宣布计划在格赖姆斯县建设名为“Terafab”的大型半导体综合体,将由特斯拉与SpaceX合资。

The election results could be particularly awkward for Musk, who reportedly donated nearly $450 million to back Republican candidates in the midterm elections. Musk has made a major bet on Texas, relocating the corporate headquarters of his two most important companies, SpaceX and Tesla, to the state in recent years. SpaceX has a major launch site for its new rocket, Starship, in south Texas, and Musk has announced plans for a sprawling new semiconductor complex called Terafab in Grimes County, which will be a Tesla-SpaceX joint venture.

在X平台上,马斯克多次抨击塔拉里科,称其为“极左极端分子”,并说他“仇恨德州和美国”。德州上一次选出民主党籍州长和联邦参议员分别要追溯到1990年和1988年。

On X, Musk has repeatedly attacked Talarico, calling him a “far left extremist” and saying he “hates Texas and America.”Texas hasn’t elected Democrats to its governor’s mansion or the U.S. Senate since 1990 and 1988, respectively.
