Those new AI datacenters will get hit hard by that if it goes through. And Elon Musk is still trying to build them. That is a 25% tarrif on every CPU, motherboard, NVME drive, GPU, network switch, and optic.
Unless import duties only apply to chips not soldered into devices in which case all the foreign produced stuff is fine and the American assembled stuff is no longer competative. Oops

For facist exceptions are the point. If you can curry favor you can get exceptions.
You really think Elon is paying tarrifs? Or bills? Or his employees?
They’ll carve out a spot so Muskrat doesn’t lose any of his hundreds of billions.
It’s possible AI data centers will just be outsourced to other countries. You don’t really need the data center to exist locally in the US
Yes you do.
