XAI has been under fire from Memphis community groups over its use of 35 methane turbines without Clean Air Act permits or pollution controls to power its first supercomputer.EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin met with xAI last month as EPA officials are considering granting a permit to the artificial intelligence company owned by Elon Musk.

EPA did not immediately respond to questions about who at xAI met with Zeldin, or what was discussed at the May 22 meeting. But the company has multiple pending air pollution issues before the agency.

XAI has been under fire from Memphis community groups over its use of 35 methane turbines — without Clean Air Act permits or pollution controls — to power its first supercomputer.
