The Guardian reports that xAI, through real estate agents in Southaven, Mississippi, has proposed home purchase offers to residents on the condition that homeowners do not join the class-action lawsuit against the noise from its gas turbines. One agent said the goal is to buy 418 homes, and 18 households have already agreed to sell; xAI did not respond to these figures and denies all allegations in the noise lawsuit. Local residents say the gas turbines operate around the clock, producing continuous noise similar to aircraft engines, and three residents filed a lawsuit in June.
