CNBC reports that SpaceX's stock experienced a notable upswing in the three trading days leading up to its listing, with Elon Musk's enterprise receiving backing from the U.S. Department of Justice. The Department of Justice has petitioned a federal court in Mississippi to dismiss a pollution lawsuit brought forth by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) against xAI. The NAACP initiated the lawsuit in April of this year, contending that xAI operates its AI data centers using turbines fueled by methane gas, without securing the necessary permits or implementing pollution control measures, thereby potentially jeopardizing public health through the emission of pollutants. The NAACP has recently sought an injunction to prevent xAI from utilizing these turbines until the lawsuit is resolved. The Department of Justice countered that the NAACP's requests pose a threat to the national, economic, and energy security of the United States, given that these AI advancements are crucial to military operations.
