In boost to Musk, Justice Department seeks to dismiss air pollution lawsuit against xAI data center

The Justice Department seeks to dismiss a lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI subsidiary, which is accused of operating unpermitted natural gas turbines for a data center in Mississippi, violating the Clean Air Act. The DOJ argues the plant is critical for the economy and military, while the NAACP and other groups claim it poses health risks to nearby communities. Mississippi stated no permit was required for the power plant.
