Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, is facing potential legal action after the Southern Environmental Law Center and Earthjustice sent a 60-day notice of intent to sue the company and its affiliate, MZX Tech LLC, on Friday alleging violations of the Clean Air Act, according to the Commercial Appeal. The letter claims unpermitted turbines are being used to power xAI’s Colossus 2 data center in Memphis. The notice is a required first step before formal litigation can be filed. In June 2025, the Southern Environmental Law Center and the NAACP sent a similar notice of intent to sue over alleged violations at xAI’s Colossus data center on Paul R. Lowry Road.
