    being sensationalist. OR (and more likely answer). Musk is building some bespoke data center in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere without the local infrastructure to support it

    It’s exactly what’s been reporting in several pieces from 404 Media, and others. Namely xAI does NOT have the infrastructure BUT Musk has a history (Tesla, SpaceX, etc) of cutting corners. He “gets shit done” like no one else not because he’s particularly smart or efficiency … but because he breaks the law, as simple as that.
