Samuel Hardiman at The Daily Memphian, following up on April’s news that xAI was pausing work on a water treatment plant that would take wastewater, clean it, and use it for cooling at its Colossus I site: Memphis City Attorney Tannera Gibson said the company has recently assured the city that it would be completing the plant. “The feelings are pretty positive and pretty strong based on recent conversations,” Gibson said. Gibson made her comments after being questioned by members of the Memphis City Council about the paused plant. “We’ve all gotten reassurances, but I want to hear those in public for everybody else,” Memphis City Council member Jerri Green said, referencing private conversations she’s had with SpaceX leadership. Green is a Democratic candidate for Tennessee governor. Those conversations come after upheaval at SpaceX’s Memphis operations. Brent Mayo, the site’s former leader, is no longer with the company.
