Southaven, MS mayor Darren Musselwhite says SpaceX's AI data centers net about $63,000,000 a year for DeSoto County Schools, DeSoto County, and the city — what local reporting calls 'unprecedented tax revenue'. Musk confirmed two more data centers under construction on Tulane: Gun Range at the former training facility and SPAM at the old Hormel building.
