The Department of Justice has intervened in a legal case involving the world's first trillionaire, Elon Musk, asking a Mississippi federal court to toss a lawsuit from the NAACP against Musk's company xAI, a subsidiary of SpaceX. The NAACP says xAI is violating the Clean Air Act by running dozens of unpermitted gas-burning turbines in majority-Black neighborhoods to fuel its data centers in Memphis, Tennessee. The Department of Justice, however, is arguing that the lawsuit violates national security by "seeking to shut off the power supply for artificial-intelligence innovation that supports the Department of War's military operations."
"We should be concerned about this type of authoritarian rule," says NAACP attorney Abre' Conner, who adds that communities themselves "should be the ones to make the decisions about our health, about pollution in communities, about stopping sacrifice zones from being furthered because of an agenda that does not serve everyday people."
