An unprecedented legal filing claims that regulating Elon Musk’s xAI could kill us.
The federal government intervened Monday in a Clean Air Act lawsuit in which people in Memphis, Tennessee, and Southaven, Mississippi, are suing Elon Musk’s xAI over the health risks posed by the company’s unpermitted gas turbines.
The Department of Justice didn’t intervene on behalf of the people breathing dirty air, though: instead, it submitted an unprecedented motion backing xAI.
The suit, filed by NAACP lawyers, contends that xAI should owe over $100,000 a day in civil penalties for violating the Clean Air Act. DOJ is pushing for the suit to be thrown out—not on the facts of the case, but because, the agency claims, Americans need Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot for our continued safety.

Safe from who? The fascists that will shoot them if you don’t agree to the bots watching all you do?
Of course it is. When was the last time clean air slipped Trump a big fat bribe?
People that can afford to have their air cleaned for them have always thought this way.
It’s a chatbot. It’s never going to do anything useful
Grok is more important than clean air, DOJ says
After all my brain damage isn’t all that bad…
