House Demands Tour of SpaceX Memphis AI Data Centers

The top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Frank Pallone, has demanded SpaceX provide records and a tour of xAI/SpaceX AI data centers and power plants in and around Memphis, Tennessee, citing alleged use of natural gas-burning turbines without permits or pollution controls that create health risks. Pallone gave SpaceX a deadline for information and accused the company and CEO Elon Musk of disregarding local communities. The article notes the facilities — Colossus and Colossus 2 — were built by xAI before being acquired by SpaceX and house Nvidia processors. The Department of Justice has moved to intervene in a lawsuit brought by environmental groups and the NAACP over the turbines. The story sits amid broader public opposition to local AI data-center builds and new state-level legislation to recoup electricity costs from operators.

Memphis backlash grows against Musk’s AI data centers

Residents, environmental groups and some state governments are pushing back against Elon Musk’s AI data center buildout in Greater Memphis, centered on SpaceXAI’s Colossus and Colossus II sites. Complaints include noise from gas-burning turbines, air pollution (PM 2.5 and nitrogen oxides), higher local utility bills, and a perceived lack of community consultation. The backlash has produced lawsuits (a proposed class action and a Clean Air Act suit backed by the NAACP and environmental law groups), state-level policy responses including a New York moratorium and New Jersey legislation on utility cost sharing, and broader national concern as major cloud customers (Google, Anthropic, Reflection AI) rent capacity at the sites.

•SpaceX acquired SpaceXAI in February and is operating the Colossus and Colossus II AI data center sites in Greater Memphis.
•Google, Anthropic and Reflection AI have agreements to rent excess compute capacity at Colossus and Colossus II, deals collectively worth up to $2.32 billion per month.
•Residents and community groups filed a proposed class action in June alleging SpaceX created a public nuisance from noise at Colossus II; environmental groups and the NAACP sued under the Clean Air Act over gas-turbine emissions.
