According to the Memphis Chamber of Commerce, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company XAI bought a land of approximately 100 thousand square meters to expand the artificial intelligence data center area in Southwest Memphis. This new terrain will host the infrastructure that will support the XAI’s current Memphis data center.

“This purchase guarantees that we will continue to remain in the forefront of artificial intelligence innovation in Memphis, Brent said Brent Mayo, the Senior Facility Manager of XAI. However, it is not yet clear whether this expansion is linked to the previously announced land rental plan.

It has already attracted attention for some time when XAI rapidly increases its artificial intelligence equipment. The company recently built a second data center in Atlanta with a budget of $ 700 million. He also made an agreement with Dell to buy GPU -filled servers worth $ 5 billion. The Memphis -based Colossus facility plans to raise 1 million Nvidia GPU this year.

These data centers are critical to educating and running the family of Artificial Intelligence Models of XAI Gok.

Discussions and Environmental Effects

XAI’s rapid growth in Memphis has led to some criticism that the region can put overloads to the electricity network and worsen the air quality. In order to reduce these objections, the company is trying to cooperate by providing discounted Tesla production batteries to local public service and building a water recycling plant.

The XAI is also working on a new 10 billion dollar fund gathering tour, which aims to increase its value to $ 75 billion to finance artificial intelligence infrastructure projects. The company finished a funding round of $ 6 billion at the end of 2024.
