US Justice Department moves against xAI bid over Colorado tech law equal protection claims

The filing says the law allows some discrimination

The US Justice Department has intervened in xAI’s challenge to a Colorado tech law, arguing it violates the Fourteenth Amendment’s equal protection guarantee. In court papers, the department says the law forces companies to prevent unintended discriminatory effects while still permitting certain discrimination intended to advance diversity goals—an approach it says is unconstitutional.
