I'm going to be blunt; this is a wildly bad-faith argument. You started the quote right after the important word: illegal.
> the illegal, unpermitted gas turbines they've been running at their Memphis Colossus data center
Illegal. These turbines are illegal. What xAI under Musk's direction is doing is illegal. A business that must break the law to be practical isn't a business, it's a criminal organization operating by hurting people (which is WHY it's illegal to run gas turbines like this), and both it and those running it must be held accountable.
You're arguing that it's fine to break the law if it would otherwise cost a business money. I don't accept that, and nobody else in this community should either.
