- Elon Musk has established a data center called Colossus in Memphis, equipped with 200,000 Nvidia graphics processors, potentially making it the largest supercomputer in the world.
- The xAI team has installed mobile methane generators without permits, raising environmental concerns and protests from residents in predominantly Black neighborhoods.
- Citizens and activists, including Justin Pearson, are demanding a review of emissions and criticizing city leaders for supporting the project without regard for residents' health.
- Alternatives like solar microgrids could provide a cleaner energy source, yet Musk continues to rely on fossil fuels, which is meeting resistance from the community.
I feel like my community is being disrespected. I feel like my friends and neighbors and family members are being ignored—both by xAI itself and city leaders championing this data center that is emitting pollution into our air. Some of those leaders have mentioned the money that xAI will supposedly bring to Memphis, but what good is money if we have to struggle with polluted air? As the elders here say, 'All money ain’t good money.'— Justin Pearson, in an email regarding the impact of the xAI data center on his community.
