What the source record says
Address: 2400 Stateline Road, Southaven, MS 38671 (near Tennessee border); coordinates are approximate for that address. The $20B investment figure covers total xAI Mississippi commitments including adjacent power plant site, not only this building. Facility is distinct from the already-tracked Colossus supercomputer clusters in Memphis, TN. Combined with Memphis facilities, xAI aims for nearly 2 GW total compute capacity. Fix: jobs.sourceIndex corrected from 0 to 1; the specific 145-person figure is reported by Mississippi Free Press (source 1), not the governor's press release (source 0) which states only 'hundreds of permanent jobs.'
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
