Nvidia Corp. ‘s (NASDAQ: NVDA ) CEO Jensen Huang said Elon Musk may be uniquely positioned to pull off Terafab, the semiconductor-manufacturing project planned by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA ) and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: SPCX ), while acknowledging the technical depth required to fabricate leading-edge chips.
According to the lawsuit, TERA-print sent Tesla and SpaceX a cease-and-desist letter on May 23, 2026, claiming the companies’ use of “Terafab” was likely to cause confusion with its own “TERA-FAB” trademark and demanding they stop using the name.

... The Texas facility sits alongside another major buildout on the same campus. Terafab, the joint Tesla and SpaceX chip fabrication plant that will eventually supply the silicon running Optimus units in the field.
Tesla has already broken ground on a research fabrication facility at its Giga Texas campus that SpaceX describes as a precursor to the larger project. That suggests Terafab is intended to encompass not merely chip manufacturing capacity but the entire process of developing, testing and eventually mass-producing semiconductor technologies required by Musk-controlled businesses.
Musk unveiled Terafab in March, and SpaceX's SEC filings state that it is developing the initiative with Tesla, while Intel Corp. joined in April. The long-term goal is one terawatt of compute hardware annually, with lithography-mask design, logic and memory fabrication, and advanced packaging vertically integrated under one program.

Meanwhile, Tera-Print holds the “Tera-fab” name for "Silicon chips; Glass chips," along with AI design and development, in addition to “Polymer pen and beam pen lithography instruments in the nature of 3D micro-printers and 3D nano-scale printers" among other uses. To resolve the dispute, the lawsuit from SpaceX and Tesla is urging the court issue a ruling that the companies’ use of Terafab “does not infringe or otherwise violate any rights claimed by TERA-print.”

Tesla and SpaceX are working together to build a wafer plant in Austin. We’ve ordered all the equipment and hope to deliver something useful by the end of next year. Terafab aims to manufacture over 1 TW of computing hardware per year. Musk previously said he believes the world’s current semiconductor capacity simply can’t meet the future demands of Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI.
In early April, Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC) entered apartnership with Terafab, a collaborative chip manufacturing project between Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Space Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ:SPCX), which made the company the primary ...

SpaceX, for example, is in the early stages of developing a 100-million-square-foot semiconductor manufacturing campus north of Houston. Tesla and SpaceX expect the facility, known as Terafab, to produce chips for both companies, with planned applications including autonomous vehicles, robotics and satellite data centers.
He sees the recently announced Terafab partnership with SpaceX, xAI and Tesla as an “additional long-term catalyst,” giving Intel an opportunity to design, manufacture and package advanced chips for AI, robotics, autonomous vehicles and space-based computing.
