SpaceX is building a supercomputer near Brownsville, Texas.
The first job on site was cleaning up sixty years of other people's trash.
Scrap metal, rusting tanks, old appliances and thousands of illegal tires, hauled out of the mud.
Think about that for a second.
This site will train frontier AI for medical research, emergency response, advanced manufacturing and national security.
It will make its own electricity, so the neighbors' power bills stay their own.
SpaceX is also putting $220 million into Brownsville's water and wastewater system, adding 20 million gallons of capacity every day for the city.
More than 3,000 construction jobs already, with more than 500 permanent ones to come.
Elon Musk summed it up in three words: "SpaceX community benefits."
A company spends $15 billion on Starship and another $24 billion on a supercomputer in one corner of Texas when it plans to stay for decades.
Elon Musk builds the place up first, because he believes the future will be built right there.
Memphis Mayor Paul Young confirming @elonmuskβs statement that Memphis is booming because of the data centers:
βThis year was $54 million in taxes generated. Last year about $25 million β it was the second-largest taxpaying property in Shelby County.β
