The story so far
A federal judge ruled on 2026-10-21 that the Environmental Protection Agency cannot unilaterally dismiss a citizen lawsuit under the Clean Air Act. The decision came in a pollution case against SpaceXAI, the company formerly known as xAI. The Trump administration had argued that the president could block enforcement suits that conflict with priorities such as the AI Action Plan and the push to bring data centers online quickly.
On 2026-10-28, a report said Texas voters are turning against data centers, and that the backlash is now shaping the state's midterm races. Texas is growing data centers faster than anywhere else.
On 2026-10-31, a federal judge rejected xAI's bid to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the NAACP. The suit accuses the SpaceX-owned company of running gas turbines at its Colossus data center outside Memphis without the required air permits. xAI had argued that the turbines are exempt from permitting because they are mobile, and that the plaintiffs lacked standing. The case will now move forward.
