Elon Musk’s xAI has added 19 portable natural gas turbines at its Colossus 2 data center in Southaven, Mississippi, between late March and early May during an ongoing lawsuit tied to the violation of the Clean Air Act.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and environmental groups sued in April, arguing xAI ran dozens of turbines at the Southaven location without the required approvals under federal air rules. The complaint described the operation as a “personal power plant” and said 27 turbines represented 495 megawatts of capacity, “enough to power 400,000 homes.”
Benzinga reached out to xAI and the NAACP for comment.
