Trump has transformed American business. Even the top of the pack can’t ignore it.
And now Nvidia’s CEO made a shocking confession about Donald Trump.
Nvidia’s Jensen Huang Hails Trump’s Bold Energy Vision as AI Lifeline
In a candid chat on the Joe Rogan Experience, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, the visionary at the helm of the world’s AI powerhouse, didn’t mince words about who truly powered the explosive growth of artificial intelligence. He pointed squarely to President Donald Trump, crediting the president’s aggressive push for energy independence as the game-changer that prevented a potential industry stall.
“The fact that he came into office and the first thing that he said was: drill, baby, drill. His point is we need energy growth. … Without energy growth, we can have no industrial growth. And that was it, saved it, saved the AI industry,” Huang told podcaster Joe Rogan. “I gotta tell you flat out, if not for his pro-growth energy policy, we would not be able to build factories for AI.”
Huang, known for his sharp insights into tech’s future, emphasized that while everyday AI use might one day sip power like a whisper, the current reality is far thirstier. “The amount of energy necessary for artificial intelligence for most people will be minuscule, utterly minuscule,” he noted, but added that right now, surging demand for data centers is creating an urgent bottleneck that Trump’s policies have directly addressed.
Wall Street echoes this urgency. Goldman Sachs projects that data center power needs could skyrocket 165% by 2030 compared to 2023 levels, fueled by AI’s voracious appetite. That’s not hyperbole—it’s the fuel Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” mantra is supplying to keep America leading the global AI race.
Trump’s Swift Strike: Declaring Energy Emergency to Power AI Dominance
President Trump hit the ground running on his first night back in the Oval Office, declaring a “National Energy Emergency” to safeguard America’s edge in innovation and security. “An affordable and reliable domestic supply of energy is a fundamental requirement for the national and economic security of any nation,” he proclaimed, setting the stage for a pro-growth revolution.
True to his word, Trump quickly signed the executive order “Unleashing American Energy,” a masterstroke that ramps up exploration on federal lands and waters while slashing red tape that had strangled development. The order mandates agencies to overhaul or ditch rules burdening oil, natural gas, coal, hydropower, biofuels, critical minerals, and nuclear power—essentials for the AI surge. It even halts funding for many Biden-era “green” subsidies that critics say prioritized ideology over practicality.
Trump hasn’t shied from the numbers either. In a forward-looking speech on AI’s horizon, he shared his eye-opening realization: “You got to be kidding. Double what we produce right now for everything.” This isn’t just talk; it’s a clarion call to supercharge the grid for the data centers that will define tomorrow’s economy, ensuring U.S. tech giants like Nvidia don’t just compete—they conquer.
Scrapping Biden’s Last-Minute AI Shackles: A Win for Innovation and Jobs
As Biden’s term fizzled, his administration dropped the AI Diffusion Rule on January 15, 2025—a heavy-handed export clampdown set to kick in May 15, layering compliance headaches and sales limits on advanced AI tech that could’ve crippled U.S. firms.
Nvidia fired back hard, with its VP of government affairs blasting it as a “last-minute Biden administration policy would be a legacy that will be criticized by U.S. industry and the global community.” They warned it would “harm the U.S. economy, set America back. And play into the hands of U.S. adversaries.”
Enter Trump: Exactly two months later, his team axed the rule entirely, three months before enforcement, freeing American innovators to thrive without bureaucratic drag. The Bureau of Industry and Security called it out for stifling creativity with “heavy regulatory costs,” opting instead for a smarter, ally-focused strategy that keeps tech out of adversarial hands while boosting exports.
Huang couldn’t hide his admiration for Trump’s personal touch. “The one-on-one President Trump is very different,” the CEO revealed. “He surprised me. First of all, he’s an incredibly good listener. Almost everything I’ve ever said to him he’s remembered.”
In a world quick to caricature, Huang painted a picture of a leader driven by practical patriotism—re-industrializing America, creating jobs, and ensuring critical tech like AI stays built on U.S. soil. It’s moves like these that have tech titans betting big on Trump’s vision to keep America not just in the AI game, but owning the board.
