Texas governor-elect Hinojosa seeks data center freeze, SpaceX land review

Texas governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has announced plans to suspend new data center approvals until the state establishes legal safeguards for residents, power supplies, and the environment, while also urging the state government to pause land deals that could involve SpaceX. The policy could reshape investment plans by major technology companies in one of the US's fastest-growing AI data center regions and a key base for Tesla and SpaceX.
