The analyst sees bigger outlays from Musk’s Terafab ambitions. Tesla and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX) are jointly pursuing the semiconductor project to secure future AI-chip supply.
However, Musk brushed off these concerns during a Terafab event in March, downplaying the difficulty of space-based thermal management. SpaceX Files FCC Debris Analysis for Orbital Data Centers
The companies signed a Terafab semiconductor framework in March, with Intel joining in April and SpaceX disclosing the collaboration in its IPO filing.
In August 2026, SpaceX and Tesla announced that Terafab would be built at the Grimes County facility. The companies announced an initial investment of approximately $16.8 billion. SpaceX and Tesla said the chips would support applications including Tesla's Optimus humanoid robots and Cybercab vehicles and SpaceX's planned space-based data centers...
Getting rid of heat generated by AI processors in space is one of the biggest physics challenges holding back orbital data centers. During a Terafab event in March, Musk downplayed this issue as not being a significant concern to SpaceX.
Its website lists AI5 for FSD and Optimus, AI6 for Optimus, and D3 for space. Intel confirmed its participation in its 2026 1Q earnings remarks. Terafab, Intel. The manufacturing question has three parts: which chips to build, how many good ...
He said Texas’s Silicon Prairie would be a logical home for a second campus. Texas Instruments, Samsung Electronics, Coherent and Terafab already have fab operations there, he noted.
One is TSMC using the project as ... Terafab provides capital, long-term purchase commitments, or both. Tesla and SpaceX jointly developed the Terafab project, with Intel already participating on the tech side....
Plus, Musk has announced plans to build a $55 billion semiconductor manufacturing facility Terafab in Grimes County, stating its goal is to produce over “1 terawatt of compute per year” on X. Reports indicate that SpaceXAI is considering ...

TSMC is reported to be considering an investment in Texas which could be bigger than its planned $265 billion investment in Arizona. The Texas investment is said to be for six fabs. Texas’ ‘Silicon Prairie’ already has TI, Samsung and Terafab among numerous chip plants and their suppliers.
Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt said on X that its reserves pale against its construction ambitions, citing Terafab’s $16 billion first phase, a proposed $10.1 billion Texas solar factory and Optimus and chip facilities at Giga Texas.
But not all the infrastructure would be in space. The company also has plans to build a truly colossal chip factory in Texas, called Terafab, that’s expected to cost tens of billions of dollars.
While Terafab takes shape, Elon Musk’s companies are facing growing pressure over how much of the project they’re willing to share with the public.
“SpaceX is aiming together with Tesla to do 200 gigawatts of solar production per year,” he said at an event in Washington. It is the same combined target he laid out that feeds directly into Terafab, the Tesla and SpaceX chip venture that ...

Away from the delivery debate, chip industry research firm SemiAnalysis provided an update on Terafab, Elon Musk’s proposed semiconductor facility intended to supply AI chips across his various companies.
Quatrochi also pointed to the so-called Silicon Prairie as a logical location for a potential second U.S. campus because Texas already hosts semiconductor operations from companies including Texas Instruments, Samsung, Coherent and Terafab.
Quatrochi identified the Silicon Prairie corridor as a feasible location for additional TSMC facilities. The region already hosts fabrication plants operated by Texas Instruments, Samsung, Coherent, and Terafab.
