Musk’s xAI is running nearly 50 gas turbines unchecked at its Mississippi data center

Elon Musk’s xAI company is operating nearly 50 natural gas turbines at its Mississippi data center, bypassing air pollution regulations by labeling the equipment as "mobile" because the units are mounted on trailers. While the company holds permits for only 15 of these turbines, local reports indicate 46 are currently in operation. The NAACP has filed a lawsuit and requested a court injunction, arguing that these unchecked emissions are deteriorating air quality in an already heavily polluted region. The Southern Environmental Law Center contends that the turbines should be classified as stationary power plants subject to federal environmental oversight regardless of their placement on trailers.
