xAI Warns Power Shutdown Could Cripple Grok, Disrupt Military AI
SPCX sits 31% above its 52-week low of $104.83.
Summary
xAI's court filing warns that shutting down temporary gas turbines at its Mississippi data center could largely disable Grok, its AI service used by hundreds of millions. The DOJ has intervened, citing Grok's role in classified military operations and national security. The dispute centers on Clean Air Act violations, with a preliminary injunction hearing postponed. This legal risk could disrupt xAI's AI operations, which are a key growth driver for SpaceX following its recent IPO and Anysphere acquisition.
