Elon Musk’s xAI did not wait for permission. It built a massive gas-burning power plant outside Memphis without permits, without public hearings and with the community shut out until after the turbines were already running.

Thermal drone imagery shows heat signatures from gas turbines operating at xAI’s Southaven, Mississippi, power plant. Floodlight’s investigation found more than a dozen turbines still running after the EPA said gas turbines like these require Clean Air Act permits before operation.
