DEBATE: Tucker vs Kevin O’Leary on the Dystopian AI Future Devouring American Energy and Jobs

What was said

"About 4 hours after the vote was unanimously passed, I got a phone call from one of the people that watches our network, looks for abnormalities. And he said, there's something going on here, something very unusual on Instagram and on Twitter. The spiking of a bunch of IP addresses that we don't know, and it's spewing out a tremendous amount of information."

Kevin O'Leary claimed that foreign actors, specifically linked to Chinese government interests, launched coordinated social media attacks against his Utah data center project within hours of approval. He named the Party for Socialism and Liberation as sharing offices with Chinese Communist Party representatives and accused them of orchestrating domestic opposition through local Utah activist groups.
