Elon Musk told the All-In Summit that he is currently living in a trailer in Memphis.

Musk is personally involved in SpaceX's GPU capacity expansion in Memphis and is staying nearby.

The billionaire famously slept on a couch at Twitter's headquarters after buying it in 2022.

When your net worth is almost $1 trillion, you can choose to live wherever you want, and right now, for Elon Musk, that's a trailer.

Musk, the world's richest person, said on Monday that he's currently calling an Airstream trailer home while overseeing xAI's Macrohard data center buildout in Tennessee.

The billionaire has been personally embedded in Memphis in recent months as SpaceX, which absorbed xAI earlier this year, races to bring more GPU capacity online, and he says he has been sleeping steps from the servers rather than commuting.

Speaking at an event hosted by the tech podcast "All-In," Musk described the trailer as his "palace," prompting laughter from hosts Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg, as well as SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell.

"This is Elon, by the way, doing what people don't believe he does: He sleeps on the factory floor.

He's in Memphis helping build buildings," Shotwell said in response.

Airstream, founded in 1931, is known for its iconic riveted-aluminum "silver bullet" design, introduced in 1936 and largely unchanged since.

A 1960 Airstream Bambi is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art, and NASA used a modified Airstream to quarantine the Apollo 11 astronauts after their return from the moon.

The astronaut connection is apt, given Musk's role in the American space industry as the founder of SpaceX.
