Elon Musk Says He’s Living in a Trailer While Overseeing XAI Plans

When your net worth is practically $1 trillion, you can pick to live anywhere you desire, and today, for Elon Musk, that’s a trailer.

Musk, the world’s wealthiest individual, stated on Monday that he’s presently calling an Airstream trailer home while supervising xAI’s Macrohard information center buildout in Tennessee.

The billionaire has actually been personally embedded in Memphis in current months as SpaceX, which soaked up xAI previously this year, races to bring more GPU capability online, and he states he has actually been sleeping actions from the servers instead of travelling.

Speaking at an occasion hosted by the tech podcast “All-In,” Musk explained the trailer as his “palace,” triggering laughter from hosts Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg, in addition to SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell.

“This is Elon, by the method, doing what individuals do not think he does: He sleeps on the factory flooring. He’s in Memphis assisting construct structures,” Shotwell stated in reaction.

Airstream, established in 1931, is understood for its renowned riveted-aluminum “silver bullet” style, presented in 1936 and mostly the same considering that.

Neither Tesla nor SpaceX has actually commented even more on a prospective merger. Speculation about combining the companies has actually distributed occasionally considering that SpaceX declared its going public previously this year.

Musk has actually long been understood for an ongoing work schedule and very little sleep, and the push to scale AI facilities, together with a possible Tesla- SpaceX tie-up, is making that track record more intense than ever.
