A grassroots community group in rural Grimes County is pressing ahead with its fight for records about Elon Musk's Terafab chip plant.
The latest blow landed on October 29, when Elon Musk’s Terafab chip initiative confirmed it’s in active discussions with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing about a dedicated fabrication plant to supply chips for Musk’s companies.
Intel shares are down about 4% premarket after Elon Musk confirmed that his Terafab chip initiative is in discussions with TSMC about a dedicated facility to supply chips for Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, potentially diluting Intel’s previously announced role as a key foundry partner for Terafab.
A grassroots organization filed a petition to intervene in a lawsuit by SpaceX to stop Grimes County from releasing information about negotiations related to the proposed Terafab facility.
GRIMES COUNTY, Texas (KBTX) - A Grimes County citizens group is suing the county to force the release of public records about the Terafab tax abatement.
Terafab’s website describes it as the “most epic” chip-building effort ever and shows its purposes as supporting other Elon Musk projects like Tesla cars or the “Optimus” robot.

Elon Musk has come under fire over his lawyer running for Congress in a district where SpaceX and Tesla have based a new project. Chris Gober is running as a conservative Republican in Texas’ 10th congressional district, home to Terafab, the massive chip-manufacturing joint venture between Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Tesla.
The 10th District is home to the Terafab, a sprawling artificial intelligence chip factory being built by Musk's companies Tesla and SpaceX. The district also cuts through Pflugerville, which houses offices for Musk's tunneling venture, The ...
Musk previously provided a rough estimate that about 25% of Terafab's future AI computing output might be allocated to Optimus, with the remaining 75% dedicated to space AI devices. This creates a new strategic intersection between $TSLA and $SPCX in the long term. Terrestrial robots require local computing power and memory to ensure real-time control, low latency, and a degree of offline operational capability. In contrast, the orbital AI infrastructure being explored by $SPCX aims to addr
El empresario argumentó la semana pasada que ambas compañías tienen mucho que ganar estrechando la colaboración en software de inteligencia artificial, diseño de chips y Terafab, robótica, conectividad y la futura constelación de centros de datos orbitales Starmind. ... Estas sinergias, sin embargo, no convencen a todos de la necesidad de una fusión. Tesla y SpaceX ya pueden compartir proyectos y tecnología sin estar integradas y sumar negocios con perfiles tan distintos podría provocar un descu
Musk has said chips produced at Terafab will be used in Tesla vehicles, humanoid robots and artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, among other applications.
Musk's case for the merger had nothing to do with cars. He listed superintelligence software, chip design, Terafab, robotics and the Starmind constellation. Gwynne Shotwell added "Connectivity." Nobody mentioned a vehicle.
This isn’t going to be true forever. Elon Musk is building a Terafab, a manufacturing facility that he claims will ultimately make more chips than all of the world’s current fabrication facilities combined.
Elon Musk has targeted volume chip output from Terafab by the third quarter of 2028, though Musk’s project timelines have frequently missed prior forecasts. TSMC has held talks about joining Terafab, yet parties remain divided over facility operational control. TSMC stands to gain clearly from SpaceX spending in 2027, while longer‑term outcomes remain unresolved.
Tesla is also pursuing its ambitious Terafab semiconductor project in Texas, which will support future AI computing requirements.
Tesla plans to leverage its Terafab facility in Texas to supply enough AI5 chips — its next-generation, in-house artificial intelligence processors — for Optimus. The chip will give the robot more computing power versus its current iteration ...
The project pairs xAI's Grok large language model, acting as a high-level navigator, with a Tesla-developed AI agent that processes real-time computer screen video and keyboard and mouse actions. On March 21, 2026, SpaceX announced the project to build Terafab, a joint project with Tesla, SpaceX ...
