The idea is still in its early phases, but teams are allegedly working swiftly to get information and find suppliers.For investors, this development shows that Musk wants to control more of the technological stack in the long run. The primary concern is whether Terafab can really compete in a market that is already full of big companies, or if it is still a risky long-term bet.
The factory is expected to support chip families including edge-inference processors, space-hardened chips for orbital satellites and high-bandwidth memory, according to the job postings. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The hiring push comes as demand for AI drives companies to secure more advanced chipmaking capacity, amid constraints at TSMC. When asked about Terafab, TSMC said on Thursday it would not underestimate competitors, but added there are “no short
