What’s really happening at Elon Musk’s xAI facility in Memphis? This in-depth video investigation from More Perfect Union breaks it down. With sharp reporting and firsthand accounts from community members, legal experts, and environmental advocates, the video uncovers how xAI rapidly constructed the world’s largest supercomputer, powered by dozens of unpermitted gas turbines, just miles from neighborhoods already burdened by toxic air.
xAI’s “Colossus” project is burning enough methane gas to power a small city, without pollution controls or federal permits, raising serious concerns about public health. The video covers:
- The secretive approval process and lack of community input
- The use of 35 gas turbines—33 of which were documented to be actively running
- Potential violations of the Clean Air Act
- The health effects on nearby residents
- Federal and local regulators’ inaction
- xAI’s plans to expand with even more turbines
Memphians deserve better than the pollution, secrecy, and dishonesty they are getting from xAI and some community leaders. Memphis residents have suffered environmental harms from fossil fuel facilities–coal, oil, and methane gas–for generations. Memphians are owed environmental justice, but instead, xAI’s hasty and reckless methane gas facility just pours more fuel on the fire.

Video to Watch: “We Went to the Town Elon Musk Is Poisoning”
At left is a good example of what I mean by: “The last 150 years hasn’t been good for philosophers.”
In the late 19th Century, a question like this was the purview of philosophy. Now it’s the domain for neuroscientists.
Similarly, the question: “what are the ultimate building blocks of the universe” was fodder for everyone from the ancient Greek philosophers up to the far more recent metaphysicians. Now we ask particle physicists.
This is funny, but in actuality, sane people don’t physically attack the MAGA crowd; in fact, we don’t even make snide comments.
We keep our thoughts to ourselves. We may feel sorry for these people’s moral depravity and/or stupidity. We may be angry that the country that was once the envy of the world is now viewed with ridicule and disdain in its path to become irrelevant in global affairs.
But messing with hateful morons in red hats isn’t helping anyone.
Here’s the latest on Trump’s efforts to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, while waging an aggressive war in Iran, executing people he suspects of carrying drug off the coast of Venezuela, pledging to take over Cuba, and annexing Greenland from a (former) ally.
