MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A company associated with Elon Musk's xAI is looking to lease and potentially buy more than 500 acres near the company's supercomputer in Memphis, according to documents from the city-county development authority. The Economic Development Growth Engine board has called a special meeting Friday to consider a lease agreement with CTC Property LLC for a 522-acre parcel in the Pidgeon Industrial Park near the Mississippi River. Nashville-based CTC Property is linked to xAI's lease of the former Electrolux factory in Memphis, according to reporting by the Memphis Business Journal.

If approved by the EDGE board, the terms state the company would lease the site rent-free for a year, then pay $1.65 million a year, increasing by 2.5% each year, for 21 years.
