Read our privacy policy A Tennessee man has been charged with an act of terrorism after he threatened to burn down an xAI facility because he was upset with its founder, Elon Musk, and President Donald Trump, authorities said. Ethan Paul Early, 25, of Ashland City, was arrested and charged on Feb. 20 after he spoke with a police officer about the threats, according to an affidavit. A police officer in Ashland City, located northwest of Nashville, said he received a call from a friend of Early's who was concerned after Early said he wanted to burn down one of Musk's data centers because he was upset with the tech billionaire and Trump, the affidavit says. Early told the officer that he was no longer thinking about going through with the idea “and that he had good friends that had talked him out of it,” the affidavit says.
