[Golden Finance] Golden Finance reports that Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI is facing a lawsuit for its use of gas turbines at the “Colossus” data center in Memphis. The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) sent a 60-day notice of intent to sue xAI on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), accusing it of violating the Clean Air Act. SELC pointed out that xAI has installed and operated at least 35 gas turbines over the past year without obtaining the necessary pre-construction or operational air permits. These devices could emit more than 2,000 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx) annually, severely impacting local air quality.
