Kevin O’Leary claims Utah organization is Chinese-funded, wants to slow U.S. data center development

Kevin O’Leary, also known as “Mr. Wonderful,” took to social media Saturday morning to blame Alliance for a Better Utah for pushing back against the development of data centers in the state, claiming the organization is Chinese-funded and incentivized to slow down American infrastructure. “Why is there suddenly such an aggressive push against American data centers and AI infrastructure?” O’Leary posted on X. “After seeing a major spike in coordinated opposition campaigns around our Utah projects, we conducted a digital audit and traced a large amount of the activity back to an organization called Alliance for a Better Utah, which has been pushing misinformation throughout Box Elder County about our data center developments.” Subscribe to ABC4 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/abc4utah?sub_confirmation=1 Keep up with the latest Utah news at https://abc4.com Also, follow us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/abc4utah https://twitter.com/abc4utah https://www.instagram.com/abc4utah/?hl=en Subscribe to ABC4's newsletters for morning news and the latest breaking alerts: https://nxslink.abc4.com/join/6p6/signup?website_signup=true
