"More pollution. More cancer. More asthma."
That is what Elon Musk is bringing to the Boxtown neighborhood of Southwest Memphis, according to Senethua Gage, a longtime resident.
In Boxtown, a community long plagued by environmental racism, two in ten children have been sent to the ER for asthma-related illnesses, the highest rate in Tennessee.
In his rapid quest to achieve dominance in artificial intelligence, Musk has increased the number of illegal methane generators he has installed at his "Colossus" data center in Memphis to 35—doubling the amount of poison he is spewing into Boxtown from what was reported just seven months ago.
According to Tennessee state representative Justin Pearson, who held an emergency town hall meeting on April 12, when all 35 turbines are in use on a given day, Musk's Colossus will be producing more nitrogen oxide than the entire Memphis Airport.
As The Guardian reported on April 9, Musk's illegally deployed generators can now generate around 420MW of electricity, enough to power an entire city.
“xAI has essentially built a power plant in South Memphis with no oversight, no permitting, and no regard for families living in nearby communities,” Amanda Garcia, senior attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center, said in a statement. “These dozens of gas turbines are doing significant harm to the air Memphians breathe every day.”
As Rep. Pearson told reporters prior to Saturday's town hall:
"The reason I'm calling this emergency town hall... is because they are killing us. There's no other way to say this. They're increasing the amount of smog that is in our community by 30 to 60%. They're also putting 16.7 tons of formaldehyde into the air with these 35 turbines that they don't have a single permit to use."
Even as he was increasing the amount of poison he was pumping into Boxtown—while gleefully killing women and babies in Africa—Musk claimed in a recent Fox News interview the he has "never done anything harmful" to anyone.
In friendly media interviews and White House appearances, Musk makes vain attempts to conceal his madness with a pretense or reasonableness.
No one gets to ask him about how his "battle to the death" against "the woke-mind virus" informs his willingness to poison Black Americans and kill Black Africans.
Elon has already shown and stated just how far he is willing to go to win the war on woke.
If money alone doesn't work, he's willing to break the law to steal elections.
If he can't succeed in rigging elections, he's OK with violence.
His DOGE "efficiency" quest is really a smokescreen to conceal his plan to create a government powered by "anti-woke AI."
He plays a big man on X. And on video game livestreams. He wants to rule the world.
In reality, he's a weak, pathetic man. And a terrible father.
He knows his extremist ideas aren't strong enough to withstand even a few minutes of actual sunlight.
That's why he's too afraid to take questions from actual journalists. And why he runs in fear from inquisitive comedians.

Poisoning Southwest Memphis
Elon Musk is pumping toxins into a Black community already hard-hit by decades of environmental racism. And this time he can’t add a laughing emoji and say it’s just a joke.
