I just watched a video of what space/low to zero gravity does to the human body. It's not good, and it happens fast. We're not going to Mars. ... Who the fuck would want to live on mars as long as earth is habitable?! ... If it’s a separate planet to the one Musk inhabits, I’m willing to give it a crack. ... Spoiler alert: There won't be a Moon colony either, and even the Terafab isn't very likely.
Intel announced earlier this month that it will be joining Musk's Terafab chip complex in Austin, Texas, to help "design, fabricate, and package ultra-high-performance chips at scale" for SpaceX, xAI and Tesla.
Timothy Arcuri (UBS): Sought clarity on the TeraFab partnership’s impact on the foundry model. Lip Bu Tan described it as a broad, innovative process partnership, while Zinsner noted demand for advanced packaging is now in the “billions of dollars per year” range.
Sans aucun doute, la Terafab vise à devenir le nouveau centre de gravité du silicium texan. Elon Musk construit son giga-usine pour internaliser la production de puces et s’affranchir de ...
In March 2026, Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI jointly announced Terafab: a semiconductor fabrication complex in Austin, Texas, with an estimated budget of $20 to $25 billion.
Moreover, there’s the future investment to consider that Tesla will make into Terafab, a vertically integrated semiconductor plant to be built in partnership with SpaceX and xAI.

Why It Matters: Terafab is the $20–25B joint chip fabrication facility backed by Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, and Intel — designed to produce AI chips for FSD, Cybercab, Optimus, and beyond.
Each layer reduces the unit cost ... and Terafab silicon runs the workloads. This stack has never been priced into a single US-listed company. Even if the AI segment underdelivers near term, the Starlink-plus-launch core alone supports a multi-hundred-billion-dollar valuation. SpaceX has filed FCC paperwork for up to one million solar-powered satellites configured as orbital AI data centers, and the S-1 ...

Para referência, a TSMC leva décadas e centenas de bilhões de dólares para construir capacidade equivalente, e suas primeiras fábricas de 2nm nos EUA não devem atingir produção plena antes de 2029. O custo estimado do projeto gira entre US$ 20 bilhões e US$ 25 bilhões. Musk já indicou que, quando a Terafab estiver em escala, pretende utilizar o processo de próxima geração da Intel, o 14A, descrevendo a tecnologia como “provavelmente bastante madura ou pronta para uso em produção em larga escala”
That Google deal just confirms that Xeon is a real winner in the AI cloud infrastructure stakes. And that Tesla/Terafab foundry win? just proves 14A can attract all sorts of advanced-node external customers. The US government's got a vested interest in Intel's manufacturing success now, what with their CHIPS Act equity stake.
6) Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI committed to using Intel’s 14A process for the Terafab project, confirmed by Elon Musk on Tesla’s Q1 call, where he called it “state of the art.” This is the first major external 14A customer announcement and arrives ahead of management’s prior timeline, which had pointed to firm customer decisions beginning in H2 2026 and extending into H1 2027.
In Texas, production of the Cybercab ... driverless operation. The most audacious piece of the puzzle, however, is Terafab—a research fab on the Giga Texas campus with an investment of roughly $3 billion....
On the same Austin campus, Tesla is building a $3 billion research fab dubbed Terafab, where it plans to manufacture AI chips using Intel’s forthcoming 14A process technology. Musk cited concerns about supply constraints from external vendors ...
In this context, the development of new industrial capacity must be accompanied by careful consideration of energy efficiency and environmental impact. Innovations in chip design can help reduce energy consumption, but these gains must be viewed in the context of the overall increase in demand. These issues are at the heart of the debate on sustainable AI, which aims to balance technological performance with environmental responsibility. With the Terafab project, Elon Musk isn’t just investing i
