NAACP sues xAI over data center emissions

The NAACP has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI, accusing it of serious environmental regulation violations at a data center that powers the Grok chatbot. The lawsuit alleges the facility operates dozens of gas turbines without proper permits, leading to harmful emissions and constant noise that have drawn complaints from local residents. xAI's lawyers maintain the company complies with all applicable laws but have not directly addressed the specific emissions allegations. The NAACP is seeking to halt turbine operations and impose fines on the company.
