Just the Federal stamp of approval on sanctioning mass layoffs.

AI power and water needs can’t be allowed to burden the American people unduly. Displacing the needs of actual people or pricing ordinary people out.

Uh, constitutionally, the Legislative Branch, Congress, makes the laws, not the Executive Branch.

Hello?

The President’s most important job is ensuring national security.

But this AI thing does not seem to be a grave threat to national security.
Therefore, the 10th Amendment should apply.

Yet the plan likely violates the 10th Amendment, which reserves core regulatory and police powers to the states.

Oddly to some, there is a counter argument here: The principal original purpose of the Commerce Clause was to prevent trade barriers among States, effectively making the US a free-trade zone. IOW AI will likely pose a series of complicated questions from a Constitutional perspective, not so easily reduced to a flippant assertion of the 10th Amendment, with Mr. Musk's ambitions going wildly beyond that.
