I swear I read an article about this months ago... is it the same data center and they still didn't stop the gas turbines, or is this another one?

Either way: fuck Musk and fuck the government who laid the foundations for such atrocities.

No,that was portable generator trucks that were not 'installed'. This is new.

You're right!

So, from bad to worse...

[–] cecinestpasunecommunication@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 12 hours ago

No, no. Don't look at it like that. They didn't stop the trucks AFAIK.

It's bad and worse!

it's more turbines, not sure if it's the same site or another

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 17 hours ago

These new ones erase the old ones. Do over!

No, Grok has been classified by the DOJ as vital national security infrastructure and is not allowed to be shut down.

This would be a great time for an injunction to force the data center to shut down all of those turbines until the matter has been resolved legally.

Of course you need to be able to pay for a lawyer who convinces a judge to pass that injunction.

A judge that Musk and Trump have bought? Or a real judge? Do you have any of those left?

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I'm pretty sure that if a judge would grant that injunction there'd be one less a week later.
