SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (WMC) – An Ohio-based contracting company has officially filed new liens alleging $431 million in unpaid work for constructing properties for SpaceXAI in Southaven, Mississippi.<\/p>\n

Court documents allege that Musk\u2019s subsidiaries owe Darana Hybrid north of $600 million<\/a> total for labor, services, equipment and materials used to build SpaceXAI\u2019s two facilities in Memphis and two facilities in Southaven.<\/p>\n

The liens filed Wednesday refer to unpaid work at the Southaven properties: the data center on Stateline Road and the power plant on Stanton Road.<\/p>\n

Darana\u2019s CEO, Darryl Cuttell, said his company is owed $431 million for his company\u2019s work in Southaven, and $136 million for his company\u2019s work in Memphis.<\/p>\n

SpaceXAI is a product of xAI merging with SpaceX<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Cuttell said his company\u2019s working relationship with xAI was solid until the merger. After that, he said, his invoices stopped getting paid.<\/p>\n
