Elon Musk's poison-spewing prized possession faces shutdown that could reshape America

Elon Musk quickly began pulling the plug on federal projects amid an escalating feud with Donald Trump, but the high-stakes clash now further threatens the most prized asset in his empire. With Tesla shares in freefall and SpaceX contracts on the line, the ambitious megaproject Musk most needs to compete in the AI race could become collateral in the explosive back-and-forth. Built in Tennessee, the supercomputer Colossus powers Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI. The vast facility cost an estimated 4 billion and Musk plans to spend tens of billions more expanding it in a bid to challenge AI giants OpenAI and Google. However, it is already mired in an explosive backlash that the president could seize on.
