Electricians from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) are traveling to Memphis, Tennessee, to work on massive data center projects funded by Elon Musk. Workers report earning over $8,000 per week, leading to a local debate over a proposed data center moratorium. While some local leaders want to pause construction, union members cite the projects as a significant economic boon for the South.

President Biden misidentified the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) as the "IBW" during a speech on infrastructure. He also claimed the union would build 50,000 electric charging stations, a figure the hosts point out is significantly lower than the 500,000 stations previously promised by the administration.
