Southaven Mayor addresses noise dispute involving data center expansion
What happened
Southaven Mayor Darren Musselwhite stated that the parent company of SpaceXAI is acting as a good corporate citizen by offering to buy homes near its power plant and data center. Musselwhite disputed media reports on Memphis television stations, calling claims that residents were being forced to move 'slanted and false'. The company sent letters to residents near the power plant offering to buy their homes in exchange for waiving a class action lawsuit.
