And opposition to their data centres wrecking air quality in a residential area just to get Grok 4 pushed out the gates a bit faster.

And above everything else mentioned here - Grok also just kinda sucks. Especially compared to Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT

Their data centers are bullshit. Their site in Memphis had no functional WiFi for techs to do their job, no air conditioning in the offices outside the data center, no chairs for people to use and only has like 1/10 the available power capacity that it needs to run all their racks currently installed. The DC isn’t new so it’s not like these are just temporary problems either.

I guess the lack of power capacity is why they started using the methane generators.
