Meta Confirms $600 Billion US Investment, Solidifying AI Ambitions
New York, NY – Meta, the parent โขcompany of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has officially committed to a massive $600 billion investment in the United States through 2028. The pledge, initially floated by CEO Mark Zuckerberg duringโ a White House โคdinner wiht former โPresident Donald Trump and other โคAI industry leaders, will fuel advancements in artificial intelligence technology, infrastructure progress, and โขworkforce expansion.
The declaration,made in a blogโ post Friday,transforms a previously somewhat uncertainโ commitment into a concrete plan. Zuckerberg’s initial figure, delivered during the September dinner, was accompanied by a candid, hot-mic moment where he admittedโค to uncertainty about the exact number, stating he “wasn’t sure what numberโ you wanted to go with” to Presidentโ Trump.
Meta CFO Susan Li laterโข clarified that the $600 billion represents the “total โขenvelope” of the company’s US investment plans, encompassing data center infrastructure, operational costs,โ and โpersonnel.โค Now, Meta is formalizing that figure and outlining its allocation.
This โsubstantial investment signals Meta’s aggressive push into the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Theโฃ company plans to dedicate significant resources to developingโฃ innovativeโข AI data center designs focused on sustainability, โฃwith a goal of becoming “water positive”โฃ by 2030 – meaning Meta will replenish more water than it consumes.
The move comes as the US government increasingly focuses on โคsecuring โคits position as a global leader in AI, and as tech companies face growing pressure to โdemonstrate responsible innovation. Meta’s commitment represents a significant vote of confidence in the US economy and a clear indication of the company’s โขlong-term โคstrategy centered around artificial intelligence.
