SpaceX brings analysts to xAI's Macrohard in Memphis: Reports

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- SpaceX, the rocket company founded by Elon Musk, is scheduled to host a group of investors and analysts on Thursday at xAI's Macrohard data center in Memphis, Reuters is reporting.

The Macrohard facility and the Colossus II computer are in the Whitehaven area of Memphis. xAI has three supercomputers and data center facilities in the Memphis area.

The Memphis visit follows another one Tuesday at the SpaceX headquarters in Texas, according to Reuters.

SpaceX acquired xAI, Musk's artificial intelligence company, earlier this year.

SpaceX has filed for an initial public offering that could make it the largest-ever stock market listing, valued at $1.75 trillion.

Thursday morning, at least one protester confronted xAI investors at a hotel in downtown Memphis, according to social media.

The NAACP has filed a lawsuit against xAI, and several community groups have opposed the operation of multiple data centers in the Memphis area, citing pollution and health concerns centered on the facilities' use of gas turbines to generate backup power and the use of water from the aquifer.
