Trump Calls Jensen Huang and Rejects an AI Brake
At the All-In Summit, Donald Trump joined Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, on the phone and criticized the idea of slowing down AI. Huang agreed. This stance contrasts with the call from Dario Amodei, supported by Elon Musk and Sam Altman, as Gallup polls show strong local opposition to data centers.
Gallup Polls Indicate 7 in 10 Opposed to Data Centers
Gallup surveys indicate that seven out of ten Americans do not want data centers built near their homes. More than half of respondents cite the environmental impact of these facilities as the main reason for their opposition. About 20% mention the rising cost of living and the consequences for their quality of life. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and allies like Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator, argue that this growing hostility is part of an international psychological operation aimed at stifling the economic growth of the United States.
Call for Slowing Down AI and a Front of Disagreement
Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, recently advocated for slowing down the development of artificial intelligence capabilities. Elon Musk (SpaceX) and Sam Altman (OpenAI) have publicly supported this initiative. Jensen Huang, at the helm of Nvidia, takes a different position. This debate directly involves the companies Anthropic, Nvidia, SpaceX, and OpenAI.

A Phone Exchange on Stage Seals the Alignment
During the All-In Summit, Jensen Huang received a call from Donald Trump while he was on stage with the hosts of the All-In podcast, including Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Friedberg, and David Sacks. Huang put the call on speakerphone for the audience to hear, after requesting additional microphones. Trump joked about manipulating the speaker and then criticized the idea of slowing down AI, mentioning political actors or China and calling the initiative a sham. Huang responded that they would not allow this slowdown to happen, which drew applause from the audience. Trump added that caution was necessary without halting an industry, assuring Huang of his full support and stating that the United States would lead.
