xAI, SpaceX Face Mississippi Class Action Over Noise at Power Plant Fueling Data Centers
Mississippi residents have sued Elon Musk’s xAI and SpaceX in a class action, alleging that a power plant fueling nearby data centers is producing noise they describe as “omnipresent and inescapable.” The plaintiffs say the sound has harmed their health and reduced home values.
The lawsuit focuses on the power source serving the data centers rather than on the computing facilities alone. Residents are seeking relief over what they characterize as a nuisance tied to alleged health effects and property-value losses.
