... "xAI has bought a third building called MACROHARDRR," Musk wrote on X, without disclosing its location. The term is potentially a play on Microsoft's name. The Information, which reported the development earlier in the day citing property records and a person familiar with the project, said the building for a third supersized data center is planned outside Memphis. xAI is planning to expand its supercomputer Colossus to house at least 1 million graphics processing units. The startup is planning to start turning the newly purchased warehouse into a data center in 2026, the Information reported, adding that both the new data center and Colossus 2 are close to a natural gas power plant that xAI is building in the area, as well as other power sources. ...

Yeah, I'd think that Mr Musk's xAI would need a lot more compute power to process all the government data that DOGE may have moved to Mr Musk's possession.

Wattsit called when magnitudinal linearity interacts with vigerous input? A waste, unless Musk in inside of the building.

Yup. Non-linearity results.
But such non-linearity may be the end aim, and not a caution.
... unless Musk in inside of the building ...
Mr Musk does not need to be "inside the building" to use the AI results of the data he may have.
All Mr Musk has to do is fire up a MAGA social media influencer with some "information" and then let MAGA take it from there.
Just look at what happened in Minnesota with what looks like a quite sketchy video posted by a MAGA influencer.
The thing is, MAGA does not seem to work with factual information, but more with what they imagine and hope to be true.
