Internal docs show xAI paid contractors to "hillclimb" Grok's rank on a coding leaderboard above Anthropic's Claude.

The NAACP is appealing the Shelby County Health Department's decision to approve the use of gas turbines at one of xAI's Memphis campuses.

In their appeal, the NAACP and other groups argued that the SCHD put xAI profits over Black people's health, granting unlawful exemptions while turning a blind eye to xAI's operations, which allegedly started in 2024 but were treated as brand-new in 2025.

One major issue is xAI's refusal to publish system cards - industry-standard safety reports about model training and testing.

An xAI official provided new details about plans for the artificial intelligence company's second Memphis facility — but not how it will be powered.

Elon Musk's xAI is in discussions to lease data center capacity in Saudi Arabia, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Environmental groups in Memphis filed a permit appeal to stop xAI from using gas-burning turbines to power its supercomputer facility in the area.

A federal government employee has reportedly leaked a sensitive API key linked to Elon Musk’s xAI platform — and it could have serious implications for both national security and the future of AI development.

The purchase indicates the artificial intelligence company’s continued investment in the MidSouth, which now spans state lines.

xAI’s latest frontier model, Grok 4, has been released without industry-standard safety reports, despite the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, being notably vocal about his concerns regarding AI safety. Leading AI labs typically release safety reports known as “system cards” alongside frontier models.
