Trillionaire Elon Musk Downgrades to Aluminum Palace to Oversee Servers

KEY POINTS

•Elon Musk revealed at the All-In Summit in September 2026 that he is currently living in an Airstream trailer in Memphis while overseeing the xAI Macrohard data center build.
•Musk has been directly involved with SpaceX’s GPU capacity expansion efforts in Memphis, choosing to live steps away rather than commuting.
•He previously stayed on a couch at Twitter's San Francisco HQ after its 2022 acquisition and rents a $50,000 house near Boca Chica, Texas, showcasing his preference for nontraditional housing.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person hovering near $1 trillion net worth, has taken ‘roughing it’ to a cosmic level by living in a 1930s-inspired Airstream trailer—identified as his new 'palace'—in Memphis, Tennessee. He's been hands-on at SpaceX's GPU-packed xAI data center there, skipping the commute for a few feet' walk from his shiny riveted-aluminum coffin to server racks. The trailer, style icons since 1936, moonlighting as NASA quarantine for Apollo 11 astronauts, is now host to Mr. Tesla himself. Musk, who famously couch-surfed Twitter HQ post-acquisition and rents a mere $50,000 house near Boca Chica, keeps blurring billionaire norms, possible merger gossip included.
