Summary
Mississippi residents have filed a class-action lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI and SpaceX, alleging that a power plant powering nearby data centers generates excessive, constant noise that has harmed their health and decreased property values. Three residents filed the case on behalf of a class estimated at over 10,000 members in federal court in Oxford, Mississippi, claiming the companies created a public nuisance by failing to mitigate the disturbance.
