- Nasdaq plunged 5%, with the move framed as a data center crash and the fallout for investors laid out as the story's central focus.
- Business Insider tied the AI-stock selloff to election results raising fresh questions about the data-center buildout's future, while The New York Times described the tech session as terrible and warned what's coming could be worse.
Why it matters: The 5% index drop is now tied to a concrete variable: election results raising fresh questions about the data-center buildout's future. For investors holding AI names, that buildout is the specific asset to reassess, because the selloff was framed around the buildout rather than around a single day's trading.
