Musk to expand xAI's training capacity to a monstrous 2 gigawatts with third building at Memphis site — announcement comes days after Musk vows to have 'more AI compute than everyone else'

Elon Musk has revealed that xAI has purchased a third building in its Memphis, Tennessee, site near the Colossus 2 data center to expand its training capacity. The billionaire said on X that the structure will be named ‘MACROHARDRR’, an extension of his ‘Macrohard’ project, wherein Musk intends to build software completely from the ground up by solely using AI agents. This additional purchase will supposedly push xAI’s overall training compute capacity to a staggering 2 gigawatts.

The new building is just the beginning of the expected expenses, though. After all, xAI still must acquire the GPUs, power sources, and more for the site to be productive. And even though Musk is one of the richest people on earth, he’s still working to raise tens of billions of dollars to help fund it, as xAI is burning through over a billion dollars a month, as it races to build the most advanced AI on the planet.
