Elon Musk’s AI xAI may have acted illegally when using methane gas turbines to generate power at its sprawling data center in Memphis, Tennessee, following a recent rule change by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The startup, which created X’s chatbot Grok, began work on its Colossus 1 data center in the summer of 2024 at a reported costof roughly $4 billion. The facility, which has been earmarked to one day house over a million GPUs, has drawn criticism from local residents and environmental campaigners over air pollution.
He had dinner with dipshit in charge last week. It’ll go through fine.
Im sure that after he pumps millions into getting republicans elected in the mid-term elections that this problem will somehow solve itself.
Headline is kind of clickbait. xAI might have violated an EPA regulation in the past, but has since got the permits it needs to run the gas turbines it uses.
So the „legal limbo“ is just whether lt not xAI will eventually have to pay some slap on the wrist EPA fines or not.
Damn, they named it „Colossus“? That’s not scary at all (See: „*Colossus: The Forbin Project*“)
