Technically only a handful of Data Centers have actually been greenlit or started construction. So resources for the rest which haven’t been greenlit yet can be redirected elsewhere.
The Minerals though will become extremely valuable though because of everything he’s either planned or, announced already. Which will be intensive resource wise.
Part of why he twisted a lot of tech companies arms and got them to start building chip and component factories here.
There’s the Golden Dome initiative. The Golden Fleet Initiative.
He threw down the Gauntlet for a new Space Race. Return/go to the Moon by 2028. Moon Base by 2030.
Setting the stage to revive Aerospace industries.
Robotics and Drones are becoming increasingly important. Elon for instance announced he wanted to take production of Optimus Teslas Robot to major production. Not to mention other electronic component shortages.
There’s the Freedom Cities initiative. Which was building 10 new cities each the size of Washington D.C. In historically underpopulated States to spur both development and innovation. As each city was supposed to have a specific specialty. Which again is also fairly resource intensive.
While reducing population strain on existing urban centers and making them easier to redevelop into not total crapholes. Requiring more mineral resources.
Then theirs also his flying cars pledge.
He’s also announced he intends on forcing/blackmailing the Defense Contractors back into line under Uncle Sam’s thumb rather than allowing them to run roughshod. Though he phrased it far more politely. Meaning tighter and faster production schedules. Less Bonuses for management and drug binges. More R&D on their own dime and investment in modernization of production and manufacturing facilities. Which would require steady material supply lines.
He has harped on AI frequently though. So I’d imagine that will remain significantly important. Perhaps we’ll see significantly improved and less Resource intensive models going public within the new few years. Thusly Requiring fewer Data Centers
Automation will also play a role given the likelihood of labor shortages and the current public suspicion of large quantities of immigrants. Which necessitates more electrical components. To build the machinery and robots necessary for automation.
U.S Allies are also testing interesting products that would undoubtedly spur interest from U.S Companies and the Military. The Japanese seem to be not exceptionally far from finally cracking the code to functional and cost effective Exoskeleton/Mech Suits as one example. Which would also require resources including rare earths.
There’s also the simple strategic value in resource denial. If we have it. That means no one else does. Which allows us to make the rules.
Then there’s the renewed push for Nuclear again. Both as power and weapons. Again requiring the rare earths.
Lots of potential uses going forward. With more irons in the fire then most can keep track of.
