Elon Musk company started Mississippi data center without permits, state alleges

Mississippi’s environmental regulators released details this week on a set of penalties against SpaceXAI for violating state water pollution laws by starting construction on its Southaven data center facilities without needed permits.

On July 16, a day after the meeting, MDEQ staff visited Southaven and confirmed the infractions. The agency sent two
