Kevin O’Leary went on NBC and accused me, and a group of local Box Elder County residents, of being foreign-funded agents spreading “misinformation” about his 9-gigawatt gas-powered data center.

Let’s set the record straight:

• I have never been paid a single dollar for any post about this project. Not by Earthly Education, not by anyone. I’ve spent days of my own time on this because I live here.

• @bear_the_fight - the Box Elder Accountability Referendum, is local Utahns using the democratic process to hold their commissioners accountable. They are not a “Chinese front.” Calling them that on national television is not how you earn a community’s trust.

• The only foreign ties in this story are his. Kevin O’Leary holds Canadian and Emirati citizenship. He’s the one who came to Utah under the banner of “national security.”

He didn’t divide us. He united us, including Republicans, Democrats, independents, people who’ve never voted in their lives, against corruption and a project that threatens our air, land, and water.

The people who actually need funding aren’t billionaires with three passports. They’re Utahns fighting to protect our future.
