Residents of Southaven, Mississippi, have filed a class-action lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI and SpaceX, claiming that a nearby data center and power-generation facility has caused significant noise and vibrations affecting their quality of life. The lawsuit, initiated by three residents on behalf of over 10,000 people, alleges that the companies failed to address the disturbances, which have disrupted sleep and daily activities, and diminished property values. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages for emotional distress and other harms. The lawsuit also notes that xAI has invested over $20 billion in the Southaven facility, which is supported by Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves. Additionally, the NAACP previously sued xAI for allegedly operating gas turbines without the necessary air permits, raising concerns about health risks and violations of the Clean Air Act.
