A federal judge has permitted a lawsuit filed by the NAACP against SpaceX to move forward. The legal challenge centers on allegations that the company's AI data center violates the Clean Air Act through air pollution.
SpaceX had previously submitted a bid to toss out the NAACP lawsuit, which was ultimately rejected by the judge. The facility at the center of the dispute involves the Colossus data centers.
In addition to the data center, the company is also building a power plant in Southaven, Mississippi. Both the data center project and the power plant have faced community backlash for years regarding environmental concerns.
