Episode description

Elon Musk's xAI project is building one of the world's largest supercomputers in South Memphis—but at what cost? In this episode, we break down the environmental, economic, and ethical implications of xAI’s expansion. From toxic gas turbines and unpermitted operations to water consumption and job promises that may bypass the very people most affected—this is a deep dive into how unchecked tech might exploit low-income Black communities under the guise of innovation.
