In response to the DOJ's filing, the SELC issued the following statement: “With this filing, the Trump administration is launching an unprecedented attack on the public’s ability to defend themselves from illegal pollution. This is a blatant attempt to let well-connected corporations like xAI unlawfully pollute without any consequences, putting communities across the country at risk and threatening to open the door to large-scale pay-to-pollute corruption in the process,” SELC Litigation Director Kym Myer said. “The Department of Justice’s frivolous arguments fly in the face of decades of well-established legal precedent and we look forward to fighting them in court.”
The case is National Association for the Advancement of Colored People et al v. X.AI Corp. et al , filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Missourt.

thesyndrome Hopefully the courts realise that this is blatant nepotism; allowing a company owned by a former government employee to break decades-old laws that protect the public, all in the name of profit If the court sides with the DoJ on this, then, well: https://i.ibb.co/Q2rPLQv/Screenshot-2026-06-17-13-05-30.png Reply
