SpaceX has committed over $2.8 billion to purchase gas turbines to power AI data centers for its xAI unit, which operates the Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 facilities in Tennessee and Mississippi. The investment comes despite public backlash, a lawsuit, and regulatory scrutiny over environmental concerns, including allegations that the company operated turbines without proper air permits. The disclosures emerged from SpaceX's IPO prospectus, as the company prepares to list on the Nasdaq stock exchange in the coming weeks.
