SpaceX lost its bid to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the NAACP, which claims the company violated the Clean Air Act with its use of gas-fired combustion turbines to power its AI data centers. NAACP filed its complaint in April this year against xAI, which is now owned and operated by SpaceX, Elon Musk’s aerospace and defense tech conglomerate. The decision comes about two weeks after the same court rejected a U.S. Department of Justice request to end the case against Musk’s company.
