Google buys unfinished data center from $30.9B AI startup that it once rejected

Google has acquired Crusoe's unfinished data center site in southeastern Wyoming, a day after the tech giant announced a $17 billion investment to build its first AI data center campus in the state. The deal follows reported concerns over cost and construction timelines under Crusoe. Financial terms were not disclosed. Crusoe continues to build Google's Armstrong County campus in Texas, alongside projects for OpenAI, Oracle and Microsoft.
