Elon Musk's xAI is running 46 unpermitted gas turbines at its Colossus data center in Southaven, Mississippi — releasing 19 tons of cancer-causing formaldehyde into predominantly Black communities every year. The NAACP is suing. The EPA ruled it's violating federal law. Musk's response? Buying $2.8 billion more.
Meanwhile, Kevin O'Leary wants to build a 40,000-acre AI data center in Utah's Box Elder County — right next to the Locomotive Springs Waterfowl Management Area. It would consume 9 gigawatts of energy. When residents fought back, O'Leary called it "misinformation."
These aren't just data centers. They're surveillance infrastructure fueled by a permanent war economy — and they're being rammed through under Trump's "chaos presidency" while tech billionaires merge with the U.S. and Israeli militaries.
Abby Martin breaks down how communities are fighting back — and why Fox News is calling them "Chinese agents."
