MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is belching smog-forming pollution into an area of South Memphis that already leads the state in emergency department visits for asthma.

None of the 35 methane gas turbines that help power xAI’s massive supercomputer is equipped with pollution controls typically required by federal rules.

The company has no Clean Air Act permits.

    I really want people to roll up on the factory, shoot the management, and then shut it down.

    This shit is a crime against the environment and humanity.

        Oh, they plenty do. They just call it school shootings, or “poor cops being harassed by mobs” (when the cops kill any semblance of liberty).
