Swamp Thing: Musk’s AI Beast Rises in Memphis

Elon Musk isn’t just tweeting through it, he’s building a supercomputer the size of a football stadium in the swamps of Memphis. It's called Colossus, and it’s stuffed with hundreds of thousands of Nvidia chips, guzzling gigawatts of power like a frat boy with a Monster Energy addiction. In this episode, host Emily Laird breaks down Musk’s big AI bet: the tech, the politics, the pollution, and the chatbot that went full anime edgelord. From natural gas backlash to GPT-style cage matches, we’re talking corporate ambition, environmental controversy, and why Grok might be both genius and menace.
