Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI is under scrutiny for allegedly operating dozens of unpermitted gas turbines at its Memphis data center, according to CNBC. The turbines are estimated to generate power equivalent to a full Tennessee Valley Authority power plant and are contributing to smog-forming emissions in an already pollution-burdened area. Residents have raised concerns about health risks, while xAI and county officials have not responded publicly. Musk has a history of regulatory conflicts at Tesla and SpaceX.
