SpaceX argues it doesn't belong in Mississippi lawsuit over noise from data center power plant
( July 29, 2026, 22:14 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: SpaceX is asking to be dismissed from a proposed class action filed by Mississippi residents alleging that a power plant fueling nearby data centers is creating inescapable noise pollution because it neither owns nor operates the plant. SpaceX owns codefendants xAI and MZX, but argues that parent corporations are not responsible for the conduct of legally separate subsidiaries. "Plaintiffs fail to establish sufficient contacts to support personal jurisdiction over SpaceX here. No general jurisdiction exists because SpaceX is not 'at home' in Mississippi," SpaceX said.See attached documents....
