Work continues on a data center being built by SpaceXAI on August 2, 2026 in Southaven, Mississippi. Hastily built to meet the skyrocketing demand for computing power required by the global artificial intelligence race, these data centers are meeting stiff opposition across the United States. In Southaven, 69 turbines are constantly in motion to fuel Colossus II, which was built to train SpaceXAI's AI-powered assistant Grok. (Photo by Brandon Dill / AFP via Getty Images)
