What was said

"“I would suggest Dylan's forecast to 43 gigawatt next year is too aggressive. I don't think we're going to get there. I think the total amount we're actually going to stand up is somewhere closer to 25 gigawatt.”"

Brad Gerstner says a 43-gigawatt US compute build-out next year is unrealistic, predicting closer to 25GW. He cites permitting and local opposition, grid interconnection delays, skilled labour shortages and sold-out power equipment.
