Ooo I wrote a paper for a uni project and this issue came up and it is depressing. Data centers near black and brown communities do this exact practice all the time. Even if the electric grid can support the data center without issue, they will still turn on gas generators. With the sole purpose of adding additional pollution to the area, just to harm minorities. Meanwhile they will not do the same to white communities. It’s pure racism, through and through. It’s not just Musk, it’s every billionaire, it’s every data center owner.
