Trump DOJ jumps into Musk xAI court battle as diversity fight heats up

The Trump-era Department of Justice (DOJ) has joined Elon Musk's xAI in suing Colorado over a state law requiring AI developers to prevent algorithmic discrimination, arguing it violates the First Amendment by compelling 'progressive ideology.' The law, set to take effect in June, mandates 'reasonable care' to avoid discrimination based on protected classes like race and religion, but allows favoring certain groups for 'diversity'—a provision the DOJ claims fosters discrimination.
