xAI offers to buy homes in Mississippi to avoid data center noise lawsuit

xAI and its subsidiary MZX are offering to buy hundreds of homes around Southaven, Mississippi, contingent on residents not joining a lawsuit over noise and vibrations from the company's data center and gas-fired turbines. At least 18 homeowners have already agreed to sell, and renters report being forced out with 60 days' notice after landlords agreed to sell. The offer requires signing a release agreement that would prevent residents from recovering damages related to the Haley lawsuit.
