xAI: Gun Range

Year Planned: 2026
Lot Size: 52 acres

Gun Range is a SpaceXAI data center for an AI training cluster, part of the company's Colossus 2 supercomputer. Elon Musk named it for the site's past as the City of Southaven's police and fire training center. SpaceXAI is building two parallel single-story buildings there, next to its Southaven power plant on Stanton Road South. In October 2026 Musk said Gun Range was on track to come online by the end of November.

Site History

  • November 2026: Musk said Gun Range and a second Southaven building, Spam, were under construction.
  • September 2026: The Southaven Board of Aldermen approved the data center's design.
  • August 2026: The city traded the training site to SpaceXAI affiliate MZX Tech for land on Swinnea Road and $40 million for new training facilities.
