DOJ Invokes Iran War to Shield Musk's xAI Power Plant From Lawsuit

⚖️ JUSTICE DEPT — The Iran war is now a legal shield for an unlicensed gas plant. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: DOJ claiming Musk's unpermitted xAI turbines are vital to national security sets a precedent: war footing grants executive cover for regulatory bypass. The argument hands the administration a template — any infrastructure linked to AI or defense can claim DEFCON immunity. Congress never authorized this; courts will decide if Iran war powers extend to protecting a billionaire's data center.
