Elon Musk roasts Microsoft AI CEO for claiming it took 15 million hours to build a datacenter: ‘Are you doing it right?’

Elon Musk roasted Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman for boasting about spending “15 million labour hours” on building the company’s new data center. Suleyman, while comparing the development to the building of the Empire State Building, had said that the famous monument took less than half the time at 7 million labour hours.

“Already our Fairwater datacenter in Atlanta has taken over 15 million labor hours to build, even more once it’s fully finished. For comparison the Empire State Building took 7 million,” Suleyman wrote in a post on X.
