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 data center in Mississippi, which is accused of operating natural gas turbines without required air permits, violating the Clean Air Act. The DOJ argues the plant is critical for an AI data center important to the economy and U.S. military, while the NAACP and environmental groups claim it poses health risks to nearby communities.
