The world's richest man, Elon Musk, has moved into an Airstream trailer near the construction site of his AI company xAI's 'Macrohard' data center. Musk told the 'All-In' podcast he is doing this to save daily commute time. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell confirmed the details, noting that he sleeps on the factory floor and helps with physical construction. Musk described the trailer as his 'palace'. The article notes that in the past, he slept at Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco after acquiring it, and lived in a rented $50,000 house in Texas. According to Business Insider, the choice of an Airstream trailer, a brand founded in 1931, ties into his space activities. A 1960 model is displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and NASA previously used a customized trailer from the company to quarantine the Apollo 11 astronauts. The combination of Musk's tight schedules, minimal sleep, and efforts to expand AI infrastructure highlights his extreme management style.
