scary as fuck. Why not rooftop solar and wind. Especially when he owns a fucking battery company. There is this whole thing with panels and turbines below that generate extra power and cool the panels so they generate more power and I don't see why you would not have the batteries below that to keep the connectors short in length. From the article:
Eighteen months ago, Elon Musk shocked the datacenter industry by building a 100,000-GPU cluster in four months. Multiple innovations enabled this incredible achievement, but the energy strategy was the most impressive. xAI entirely bypassed the grid and generated power onsite, using truck-mounted gas turbines and engines. As shown below, xAI has already deployed over 500MW of turbines near its datacenters. In a world where AI Labs are racing to be first with a Gigawatt datacenter, speed is the moat.
