A subsidiary of Elon Musk’s xAI is offering to buy up homes in a Mississippi neighborhood, as long as residents don’t join a lawsuit targeting the company’s nearby data center and power plant, according to a report from The Guardian. A realtor going door-to-door in the Southaven neighborhood reportedly told one resident that xAI plans to purchase 418 homes, adding that 18 homeowners already have plans to sell. People who rent homes in the area report they’re already being forced out, with 60 days’ notice after their landlords agreed to sell.
