Justice department urges judge to throw out suit brought by NAACP over xAI’s methane-gas turbines in Mississippi
The Trump administration is coming to the defense of Elon Musk in a lawsuit over claims that his artificial intelligence company, xAI, is polluting residential neighborhoods in north Mississippi. The justice department told a federal court late on Monday to throw out the case.
The lawsuit was filed by the NAACP in April over allegations that xAI and its subsidiary MZX Tech set up dozens of methane-gas turbines to power its datacenter in Southaven, Mississippi, without air permits. The suit claims these turbines emit toxic pollutants in violation of the Clean Air Act, and is asking a judge to block xAI from operating the machines.
The Department of Justice says this datacenter is being used to train and develop AI models that are “critical to the economy and the Department of War” and the turbines are necessary to power the facility. In a 33-page memo filed in Mississippi federal court, the government also claims that under the Clean Air Act, it can terminate such “citizen lawsuits”.
So this is the great promise of America. Where a dickless ketamine addict can poison the air and water while corrupting our government. They should have inscribed that on the Statue of Liberty.
You forgot Nazi pedophile immigrant welfare queen and dickless ketamine addict
"Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
…Because the wealthiest among us really need the cheap labor.
Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
Though I won’t let them breathe either, for sure.
Musk builds electric cars, but doesn’t run his datacenters on solar-photovoltaic with battery storage?
Musk doesn’t build cars.
he doodles a concept with crayons and throws drug-fueled tantrums when the people who do build cars tell him why that’s not gonna work.
They built the cyber truck. A “ketamine fueled cartoon abortion” is one of the nicer ways to describe that vehicle.
I’m still fond of deplorean
Well, Musk is the boss. After a certain point of the tantrums, you just kinda give him what he wants and try to keep it contained to the Wankpanzer. But yes. That certainly is a polite way to describe the Swastikar Wankpanzer. (Also: flaming dumpsterfire lit as a warning of incoming incels. But that’s a bit wordy, so I’m using yours.)
He should have used solar roof tiles, lol.
Each datacenter probably needs something like 35 square miles of photovoltaics. They’d be seriously large renewable energy systems. He didn’t do it because they’d have higher upfront costs than the turbines.
Burn rate doesn’t matter when we’re talking about datacenters!
The Department of Justice says this datacenter is being used to train and develop AI models that are “critical to the economy and the Department of War”
Then build them near Mar-A-Lago.
It’s just corruption from top to bottom in this so-called “administration”.
In a 33-page memo filed in Mississippi federal court, the government also claims that under the Clean Air Act, it can terminate such “citizen lawsuits”.
Because who gives a fuck what the people want.
Did the trump administration just reverse uno card the naacp?
