Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI, has purchased a new building in Southaven to boost its computing power. 

This is the tech company’s latest expansion into Mississippi. The property at 2400 Stateline Road is a short drive from xAI’s natural gas power plant that the company bought in July 2025. The former Duke Power plant will power xAI’s two data centers across the state line in Memphis. 

According to property records, MZX Tech, an LLC associated with xAI, purchased the property on Dec. 23.

“xAI has bought a third building called MACROHADRR,” Elon Musk wrote on Tuesday in a tweet on X, formerly known as Twitter. Musk added that the building would expand the company’s computing power to almost 2 gigawatts. 

The company has not said what it plans for the warehouse. However, The Information, a tech publication, reported that the building will be used as a data center.

If true, this would bring the total number of data center projects in Mississippi to five. 

xAI’s power plant already faces community pushback. Residents of Southaven have raised concerns about noise levels and environmental concerns. A petition by a local group, Safe and Sound Coalition, calls for the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and the city to end all xAI operations. It has over 700 signatures. The group plans to speak at the next Southaven Board of Aldermen meeting on Jan. 6.
