10,000 SIGNATURES NEEDED URGENTLY: JOIN NAACP IN CALLING FOR EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN OF ELON MUSK’S !
,
On Tuesday, in partnership with the Southern Environmental Law Center, the NAACP, sent a letter to xAI signaling its intent to sue over the company's continued use of unpermitted gas turbines at its data center in South Memphis.
We cannot afford to normalize this kind of environmental injustice — where billion-dollar companies set up polluting operations in Black neighborhoods without any permits and think they'll get away with it because they assume the people won't have the power to fight back. But the people have us, the NAACP.
We will not allow xAI to get away with this.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has decided Black lives don’t matter.
Here’s what’s happening: Elon Musk built a massive data center in under a month in historically Black Boxtown, Tennessee, bypassing mandated permitting and environmental review. He illegally installed 35 gas turbines with no regard for clean air laws and dismissed the required community engagement.
That’s why the NAACP is urging the health department to step in immediately. Help us keep the pressure on!
As you read this, the data center is polluting the air with toxic smog-forming chemicals and cancer-causing agents like formaldehyde.
These harmful sites turn neighborhoods into industrial dumping grounds and poison the air. We will not stay quiet while the health of our families and communities is under attack.
TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION: 10,000 SIGNATURES NEEDED TO CALL FOR EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN OF ELON MUSK’S TOXIC SUPERCOMPUTER!
