The NAACP sued, arguing xAI is illegally polluting communities in North Mississippi and Memphis. The attorney representing them put it plainly: the data center and its pollution are "turning our communities into sacrifice zones."

The DOJ decided to dismiss the lawsuit – arguing the plant is "critical to the economy" and the military. Not Musk's lawyers. The Justice Department. Your tax dollars were used to defend his company and the data centers they are building. Someone make this make sense.

Musk was Trump's single largest campaign donor, by far. Musk’s company, SpaceX just had the biggest Initial Public Offering’s in history – fueled by billions in federal contracts. One week later, the DOJ files to kill the lawsuit against his company for harming communities.

When communities sue over alleged illegal pollution, the DOJ's job is to uphold the law that protects us all. Congress needs to investigate. Who ordered this intervention, and why are we funding it, and whose interests are really being served? We need answers!
