Elon Musk's companies, xAI and SpaceX, have been sued by Mississippi residents, who allege that a power plant supplying nearby data centres has subjected them to relentless noise and vibrations. The case, made public on Tuesday in federal court in Oxford, Mississippi, was filed by three residents on behalf of a proposed class believed to include more than 10,000 people.
