xAI Plans 3 Gigawatt AI Data Center Expansion in Texas

xAI is preparing to add 3 gigawatts of artificial intelligence computing capacity in Texas by the end of 2027 to boost its processing power.

xAI is exploring a major expansion of its artificial intelligence computing infrastructure in Texas, where the company is reportedly laying the groundwork for at least one new large-scale data center. According to reports from The Information, the company could potentially add 3 gigawatts of new AI data center capacity by the end of 2027.

This proposed build-out represents a strategic push to increase AI processing capabilities over the next 17 months. While Elon Musk has not officially confirmed these plans, financial projections indicate that such an expansion could generate significant incremental revenue if the capacity is leased to other parties.
