Elon Musk’s xAI is running 35 methane gas burning turbines (enough for a small city) while only having a permit for 15 to power the Colossus supercomputer with over 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs in Tennessee. The Southern Environmental Law Center contends the generators are "illegal," yet they can keep running, reports The Guardian.
