Mayor to homeowner losing sleep over data center plant: "Consider selling"

Jason Haley, a 46-year-old resident of Southaven, Mississippi, has been experiencing severe sleep disturbances due to constant noise and vibrations from a nearby data center operated by Elon Musk's xAI company. Haley and two other residents have filed a lawsuit alleging that the noise causes significant health issues. This dispute reflects broader national opposition to data center developments, as indicated by a Gallup poll showing most Americans oppose such projects. Similar conflicts are occurring in other locations like Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, and Lowell, Massachusetts. The mayor, Darren Musselwhite, acknowledges the issue but has not provided a clear resolution. Meanwhile, xAI plans to expand its operations with a new data center in the area, prompting community concerns.
