Memphis residents had no input into the opening of Musk’s supercomputer facility, with some local officials learning about its arrival from the news. As a private business, xAI had no obligation to seek public feedback, the Chamber of Commerce said.

If the private business is getting a tax break, monopolizing the energy grid, and reducing water access/availability then the taxpaying residents do have the right to vote to remove all those that approve permits/variances/subsidies. If they violate health regs then resident class should sue.

The Chamber of Commerce is not involved in issuing building and design permits. What happens when the facility catches fire? Does the Fire Department have a knox box to retrieve a key and enter, or is Elon providing private fire response? Lots of permit questions Chamber of Commerce can't answer.

He fixed the voting machines and then slithered away. He wanted Trump in office for his contracts and to stop the spying of all his various tentacle off-shoot companies impropriety. And he wanted those GOVT contracts renewed AND no taxes. The fix was in as soon as he stepped onto the stage.

I’ll bet not one of those chamber members lives near the center & Musk is financing some of their jumps into political office. Kickbacks from secret deals to screw their community, drain their water systems, raise their power bills, poison their air, jobs that don’t exist. Same story countrywide.

The supercomputer facility in Memphis & the way it was implemented. Sounds a lot like the tunnel in downtown Nashville, to the airport. Musk & the governor implemented the project with very little input from the folks in Nashville. Because it was funded by private business.

Not necessarily, esp. if zoning is ok. Probably in this case a gap in the law like not requiring public meetings for facilities using x amount of water or power.
