'Elonville': US residents say Musk's xAI offered to buy homes if they don't sue over datacenter noise People in a Mississippi neighborhood, many of whom dislike a nearby power plant central to Elon Musk's artificial intelligence ambitions, have received a stark offer - to sell their houses to his company and make way. Real estate agents have been going door to door in Southaven, Mississippi, on behalf of xAI, Musk's AI company that was folded into the SpaceX entity in February, touting a deal to purchase houses as long as the owners agree to not join a lawsuit against the company over the power plant's noise. This plan could potentially swallow up almost the entire neighborhood of Colonial Hills, on the western flank of Southaven.
