Musk's xAI Skips Permits for Colossus 2, Builds Anyway

Elon Musk's xAI reportedly installed 59 gas turbines for its Colossus 2 supercomputer without obtaining federal clean air permits, according to Reuters. Apparently, some rules are just suggestions when you're busy saving humanity, or perhaps just too busy to consult a calendar or local ordinance. Here in Baja, we understand the 'ask for forgiveness, not permission' philosophy, especially when it involves building a palapa, but a supercomputer? Please. Nobody here cares, the waves are too good.
