Elon Musk’s xAI announced plans Thursday to build what it calls “the world’s largest ceramic membrane bioreactor,” according to Benzinga. The system will cool its Memphis data center using 13 million gallons of reclaimed wastewater daily.

AI is expanding its Mid-South footprint with the purchase of a 114.49-acre Stanton Road property in Southaven.

AI released two AI "companions" on its Grok platform, a Japanese anime girl named "Ani" and an animated red panda called "Rudi."

Elon Musk's xAI acquired a former power plant site in Southaven, expanding its Mid-South presence for undisclosed projects.

Environmental groups in Memphis filed a permit appeal to stop xAI from using gas-burning turbines to power its supercomputer facility in the area.

According to a Wall Street Journal report that cites investors close to SpaceX, the company has agreed to invest $2 billion in Musk’s AI startup xAI. The investment would reportedly be part of the $5 billion equity raise (along with another $5 billion in debt) that Morgan Stanley announced at the end of June.

The purchase indicates the artificial intelligence company’s continued investment in the MidSouth, which now spans state lines.

A secretive technology investment group that is a top backer of Elon Musk’s companies will close to external investors, after racking up such big gains that it is no longer dependent on outside financing.
