Civil Rights Organization Gives Elon Musk’s XAI 60 Days to Address Alleged Clean Air Act Violations

A coalition of civil rights advocates has served notice to Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, XAI, alleging violations of the Clean Air Act in the construction and development of its data center in Memphis, Tennessee. The letter provides the company with a 60-day period to remedy the purported violations or potentially face legal action. The group asserts that the data center’s construction has led to harmful emissions, degrading air quality in the surrounding area and negatively impacting the health of local residents, particularly disadvantaged communities already burdened by environmental health issues. The organization is demanding that XAI implement immediate measures to reduce emissions and comply with environmental regulations. They are also seeking detailed information regarding the data center’s impact on air quality and community health. The dispute centers on concerns regarding environmental justice and the rights of communities affected by industrial pollution.
