A major cost in building and operating datacenters is energy, so it does mean that significant share of those money would go into energy development. Large demand is one of the best things for stimulating technology development, and in this case we'd definitely see investment in solar and compact/safer nuclear of which MSRs are a part of.

xAI already brings gas turbines on-site, and i think the trend of on-site energy generation will grow, which will open opportunity (by providing well finaned demand) for compact/mobile/safer nuclear, and BigTech companies are among the best for any new tech development. I expect nuclear engineer positions get opened with Google and the likes :)
