Musk Says SpaceXAI Is Building Two More Data Centers in Southaven, Mississippi; Mayor Says Company Is Offering to Buy 400+ Nearby Homes and Businesses

SpaceXAI is building two more data centers in Southaven, Mississippi, adjacent to Colossus 2 across the state line in Memphis, its owner said, Action News 5 reported on Nov. 5, 2026. That will make six SpaceXAI data centers in the Memphis metro area. The two are under construction on Tulane Road: Gun Range, at the city’s former training facility, is expected online in November, and Spam, at the old Hormel building, in December.

Southaven Mayor Darren Musselwhite said the development nets about $63 million a year to DeSoto County Schools, DeSoto County and the city. He confirmed that SpaceXAI is offering to buy more than 400 nearby homes and businesses if owners are bothered by noise or pollution, and said he asked the company to make the gesture. Protect Our Aquifer told the station it has a records request pending with MLGW that is now three months old.
