Miriam Waldvogel
Summary
The Justice Department is attempting to block a lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI company over a power plant in Mississippi that operates without permits. The DOJ argues the gas-powered turbines supporting xAI's data center are vital to national security interests, including the war in Iran. This follows a similar DOJ intervention in a separate lawsuit against Musk's company in Colorado.
