SpaceX Data Center Reliability Issues Leave Some Sites Without Backup Power
SpaceX is expanding AI infrastructure rapidly, but engineering and reliability issues have emerged at data center sites in Tennessee and Mississippi. Multiple locations reportedly operated for months without backup cooling and power, while the Mississippi site kept temporary gas turbines longer than planned due to supply chain delays for 41 permanent units. The push helped drive a 210% AI revenue surge to $2.5B, but executives have left amid a looming build deadline.
