  • Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer gets a power boost amid concerns
  • The approval of 150 MW raises questions about the reliability of Tennessee’s electric grid
  • Local stakeholders are expressing concerns about the growing demand for data centers

Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer has taken a big step forward with approval from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for 150 megawatts of power.

This approval significantly increases the facility’s power supply, allowing all 100,000 GPUs to be used simultaneously, a feat previously limited by available power.
