SpaceXAI affiliate MZX Tech swapped a 51-acre former training site with the City of Southaven for 69 acres of new land plus $40 million to fund new police and fire training facilities. This deal is seen as a strategic move to smooth local relations while expanding compute infrastructure nearby. Reports also suggest SpaceXAI is training Grok 5 with roughly 220k GPUs targeting 6-10 trillion parameters.
