Company News
Opposition to data centres has become a significant issue ahead of the US midterm elections, with voters unseating local politicians who support them. Residents cite concerns over water pollution, noise, power demands and environmental degradation. In Missouri, four city council members lost their seats over supporting a $6 billion data centre. Similar ousters occurred in Independence, Missouri, and rural North Carolina. The backlash crosses party lines, prompting state legislatures nationwide to consider bills ranging from eliminating tax incentives to construction moratoriums. Despite generating substantial tax revenue and construction jobs, communities increasingly resist these developments. Virginia, which has the most data centres, is considering eliminating sales tax exemptions worth $1.9 billion. President Trump has acknowledged affordability concerns whilst supporting development, though his proposals lack enforcement mechanisms.
Meta is raising prices for its Quest VR headsets by $50–$100 (12–20%) from 19 April, citing a global surge in memory chip prices affecting consumer electronics. However, Meta's own spending priorities have contributed to this component shortage. The company plans to spend $115–$135 billion on capital expenditures this year, up from $72 billion in 2025 and $28 billion in 2023, with most investment directed towards AI infrastructure. This includes $21 billion for data centre company CoreWeave and $10 billion for an El Paso data centre. Meta's AI spending forms part of $630 billion in industry-wide AI infrastructure investment pledged for 2026, driving up prices for RAM and GPUs. Meanwhile, Meta is reportedly planning spending cuts of up to 30% for its metaverse division, which has accumulated $73 billion in losses.

Meta and Broadcom have announced an extended partnership through 2029 for designing Meta's custom AI accelerators. Meta has committed to deploying one gigawatt of its training and inference accelerators under the agreement. The deal expands an existing collaboration between the two companies focused on Meta's in-house chip development. As part of the arrangement, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan has agreed to leave Meta's board of directors. Broadcom shares rose 3% in extended trading following the announcement. The partnership underscores Meta's continued investment in custom silicon to power its artificial intelligence infrastructure and reduce reliance on third-party chip suppliers.
Broadcom and Meta have announced a multi-year strategic partnership to support Meta's AI compute infrastructure through 2029. The collaboration centres on Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA) chips, with an initial deployment exceeding one gigawatt as part of a sustained multi-gigawatt rollout. The partnership will deliver what the companies call the industry's first 2nm AI compute accelerator. Broadcom will provide its XPU platform for chip co-development and advanced Ethernet technologies for networking across Meta's expanding AI compute clusters. The technology will underpin Meta's deployment of generative AI features across WhatsApp, Instagram and Threads. Meta aims to deliver what it calls "personal superintelligence" to billions of users globally. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan will transition from Meta's board to an advisory role focusing on Meta's custom silicon roadmap.
