Trump cancels AI executive order signing after tech CEOs skip event and industry pushback

President Trump abruptly canceled an AI executive order just hours before signing, initially due to tech CEOs not attending the event. The order would have allowed voluntary government testing of frontier AI models up to 90 days before release. Industry pressure from Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and former AI advisor David Sacks reportedly influenced the decision, with concerns that even voluntary AI safeguards could slow innovation and hurt US leadership in AI against China.

AI data centers trigger 76% electricity price spike as federal watchdog demands tech giants pay

Wholesale electricity prices in the largest US region jumped 76% due to AI data centers, affecting 67 million people. A federal watchdog now demands tech companies pay for their own power infrastructure to prevent further cost-shifting to households. The price surge—from $77.78 to $136.53 per megawatt-hour—could worsen unless data center load growth is addressed before June 2026.
