Fire Breaks Out at a Data Center Leased by Elon Musk’s X
The fire department said a room with batteries contributed to the blaze at a building leased by Elon Musk's X near Portland, Oregon.
A fire broke out Thursday morning at a data center in Hillsboro, Oregon leased by Elon Musk’s X, forcing an extended response from emergency crews, according to multiple sources who spoke to WIRED. In the Portland area, X appears to lease space from a building that has been linked to Digital Realty, one of the world’s largest developers of data centers. X’s parent company, xAI, has come under fire in recent months for its rapid expansion of power capacity at a new data center in Memphis, which opened last year.
