This is a classic tactic Uber and Lyft have used when threatened by things like minimum wage laws for drivers --overlaying their apps and websites with company messaging.

Shocking to see the federal government doing it now

Memphis Mayor Paul Young has said that he spoke with xAI and that only 15 of the 35 turbines on site were being used.

But, the Southern Environmental Law Center had thermal images taken of xAI. Those images show 33 turbines all running at the same time.

None of these turbines have permits.

Secretive anonymous fliers were sent to residents in the historically Black neighborhoods that surround xAI.

The fliers downplay the pollution that comes from xAI firing up 30+ methane gas turbines without permits.

The fliers allege the turbines are “cleaner tech” and “minor” polluters.

It’s important to note that even though TikTok is back online, it’s still not available for updates and downloads in Apple and Google’s app stores. And it’s unclear if Trump’s EO will fix this. If there are no app updates, it will degrade over time…

(Oh, also, Markey voted for the ban)

TikTok issues a late-in-the-day statement, looking to force the hand of the Biden administration.

If the administration doesn't comply, TikTok says, it "will be forced to go dark on January 19"

"On behalf of everyone at TikTok and all our users across the country, I want to thank President Trump..."
