Elon Musk doesn't just work hard—he sleeps hard. The billionaire tech mogul has reportedly been crashing on the floor of his government office, which sits just across from the West Wing of the White House.

Since taking on his new role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump, Musk has been spending long hours at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building—so long that he's apparently decided to just sleep there.

Sleeping In The Office—Again

A Republican source told People that Musk has been “holed up” in his government office, sometimes sleeping on the couch and sometimes straight-up on the floor. Not exactly Tesla's TSLA  luxury interiors, but Musk has never been big on comfort.

It's not the first time Musk has made an office his bedroom. He famously lived in a Tesla factory for three years, sleeping on a couch, under his desk, and even in a tent on the roof. His reasoning back then? Too much work, not enough time to go home.

Now, history seems to be repeating itself—only this time, instead of a Tesla plant, his makeshift bedroom is in a government building next to Trump's White House.

Government Office? More Like A Full-Time Home

The EEOB, where Musk has been sleeping, houses various agencies under the Executive Office of the President. It's next to the White House, making it easy for Musk to stay close to Trump.

And while Musk may not have a bed, the EEOB does have perks. A cafeteria, a gym, and even a bowling alley are available for government employees, so at least he's not starving.

But Musk isn't the only one spending extra time in the office. His 4-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, has reportedly been around "quite a bit." The toddler even made an appearance at a Feb. 11 Oval Office press conference, standing beside Musk and Trump while making faces at reporters.

Mar-a-Lago: Musk's Other "Home"

When Musk isn't sleeping in his government office, he's reportedly spending time at Mar-a-Lago. People magazine quoted sources as saying he was living at Trump's Florida resort during the presidential transition, helping shape the administration's tech policies.

One Palm Beach told People last month that Melania Trump was "glad to have a babysitter for Donald" while Musk was hanging around.

So, Why Is Musk Sleeping There?

It's unclear exactly why Musk is choosing to sleep in the EEOB, but given his history, it's likely just about efficiency. If you ask Musk, he'd probably say something like “too much work, no time to leave.”

The White House has not commented on his sleeping habits. Neither has Musk. But for now, the world's richest man is apparently sleeping on the floor, just a few steps from Trump's White House.
