NAACP calls for emergency shutdown of Musk’s supercomputer in Memphis

The NAACP has urged local regulators to halt Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer project in South Memphis, citing non-compliance with environmental regulations. In a letter to Shelby County officials, the civil rights group expressed concerns over pollution affecting Black communities, emphasizing that wealth should not exempt individuals from environmental responsibility. xAI has defended its operations as compliant with laws, but the project’s methane gas turbines are under scrutiny for potential air quality impacts on nearby residents, prompting calls for immediate regulatory action.
