I recommend anyone who doesn't understand the backlash to datacenters go spend 24 hours standing outside of xAI's facility in Memphis.
No earplugs. No masks. Just you and the air that Elon provides.
Also remember: He said they would build a water treatment facility but they aren't.
This is condescending and, most importantly, completely ignorant of the actual, real and material reasons communities object to data centre developments (primarily: environment and resource concerns, which they genuinely understand very well and can explain with specific, accurate detail)
