Elon Musk’s AI Company Installs Converted Jet Engines To Help Power Its Memphis Data Center

Elon Musk's AI company is installing converted Boeing 747 jet engines to provide power for its Memphis data center. This unusual move comes as data center builders face years-long waits for grid access and new turbines. While these once-discarded jet engines offer a temporary solution to energy shortages, the method is reported to be less efficient and less environmentally friendly than traditional power sources, reflecting the urgent need for electricity in AI infrastructure.
