SpaceX AI is accelerating construction of its large-scale AI data center, MACROHARD RR, in Southaven, Mississippi. Local contractor Michael Flood posted on-site observations on November 13, 2026, stating that the project covers approximately 810,000 square feet (about 75,000 square meters), with over 1,500 cubic yards of concrete being poured daily, equivalent to about 1,147 cubic meters, indicating the project is in a large-scale civil construction phase. This campus is part of Musk's expansion of AI computing power clusters in the Memphis metropolitan area. The Mississippi state government previously disclosed that the MACROHARD RR project represents an investment of over $20 billion and, upon completion, will expand computing power along with surrounding data centers and power facilities. Local media reported on November 5 that SpaceX AI is also advancing construction on two other data centers in Southaven.
It is worth noting that this expansion is also accompanied by environmental approval controversies. On November 6, Mississippi regulators disclosed that SpaceX AI previously began construction without obtaining the necessary rainwater discharge permits, facing potential fines of up to approximately $6.1 million.
