Trump administration seeks to block Clean Air Act lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI over gas turbines

The Trump administration is intervening in a Clean Air Act lawsuit filed by the NAACP against Elon Musk's xAI, arguing that the lawsuit threatens a data center that powers the Grok chatbot, which is used by the military. The NAACP alleges that xAI and its subsidiary operated 27 gas turbines without an air permit in Southaven, Mississippi, a number that later grew to 57, with plans for two more. The turbines power the Colossus data center for Grok, and the lawsuit cites health concerns and noise complaints from nearby residents.
