“Meta is reportedly calling its massive data centers "experimental" to claim a research tax credit. Try telling the IRS your kitchen renovation was a science project. Or your new car was a lab experiment. That's a rigged tax code.”
In a Bluesky post, Warren criticizes Meta after a New York Times investigation revealed that the tech giant reportedly classified its massive AI data centers as experimental research projects to claim billions in federal tax credits.
