Musk recently bought a facility in Memphis, the Electrolux building (which was closed), and is planning to or has started running AI servers there, with a net ultimate demand of around 150 megawatts. That’s 150,000 Kilowatts. For reference, an electric dryer uses around 5 kilowatts, so this is the equivalent of 30,000 electric dryer running, 24/7.
The building isn’t terribly old, and is now labelled xAI on Google Maps.
Also, to note, the left is not happy with Musk’s facility, though I suspect that if it were one of their commie/anti-American thugs like Google or Gates, they’d be fine with it.
Memphis? Needs another 150 megawatts of plug in? Sounds like they’ll have to add another turbine somewhere between there and Oak Ridge. At least Tennessee has plenty of rivers to work with. Elon will explain it to them. Don’t want to see the lights fade at Gracie Mansion?
I guess that explains why I haven’t seen an Electrolux Vacuum for awhile?
