Episode Details

Elon Musk just got a whole lot richer. SpaceX, his rocket and data center behemoth, went public Friday with a staggering $1.75 trillion valuation. But not everyone is celebrating. Communities surrounding xAI's data centers are fuming. Mother Jones and WIRED report residents are 'pissed' about pollution and the perceived disregard for their concerns, even as Musk's personal wealth skyrockets. This IPO is a goldmine for Musk, but a flashpoint for environmental justice.
