  • A realtor reportedly made the offer door to door, according to a Guardian report.

What happened

According to a report from The Guardian, a subsidiary of Elon Musk’s xAI is offering to buy homes in the Southaven neighborhood of Mississippi. The offer reportedly requires residents not to join a lawsuit targeting the company’s nearby data center and power plant. A realtor going door to door reportedly told one resident that xAI plans to buy up homes.

Why it might matter

Local data center and power plant disputes can shape how AI infrastructure is built near homes. Buyouts tied to legal silence may affect how residents can challenge such projects.

What we don’t know yet

The sources do not say how many homes are involved, what prices are offered, or what the lawsuit claims in detail. xAI’s response is not included in the items.
