[Meta Louisiana Data Center's Total Investment to Exceed $250 Billion] Odaily Planet Daily News – Meta Platforms has committed an additional $40 billion investment into its large-scale data center campus located in Louisiana, USA. As the company continues to expand its artificial intelligence computing infrastructure, the project's total estimated investment is expected to exceed $250 billion. On Monday, Meta announced plans to expand the data center project in rural Louisiana to at least 5 gigawatts (GW) of computing capacity, with a total investment of $50 billion. Previously, the company had announced a $10 billion investment to build the data center and surrounding community.

According to a source familiar with the matter, this would bring the project's total estimated investment to at least $250 billion. As of now, Meta has not disclosed any specific expenditures beyond the $50 billion for this project. (Jin10)
