Abbott has been a major booster for the tech titan in Texas, calling him the state’s “leading economic developer.” Abbott’s office has overseen tens of millions in state grants and more than $1.6 billion in tax incentives for Musk’s companies, the vast majority going to his planned Terafab chipmaking project in Grimes County.
La fabbrica dovrebbe contribuire a ridurre il rischio di carenze di processori avanzati acquistati presso produttori esterni, come TSMC. I chip sono destinati a diversi progetti dell’ecosistema Musk: dai cluster AI di xAI ai veicoli a guida autonoma, passando per i robot umanoidi Optimus e il progetto di data center orbitale di SpaceX.
Intel Foundry grew 31% to $5.8B in Q2, mostly from making Intel’s own chips. In 18A, Intel launched Xeon 6+, its first server product on the node, and began high-volume manufacturing for part of its Panther Lake PC lineup. The bigger question is external customers for 14A, the next node, where Intel expects customers to make decisions between the second half of 2026 and the first half of 2027. Tesla has selected 14A for the Terafab chip project tied to Tesla and SpaceX, but Musk has also confirm

This probability distribution reflects the market's cautious assessment of regulatory approval, negotiation complexity, and strategic necessity. Musk has set a 2028 target for Terafab chip production but acknowledges uncertainty in the timeline.
In 2026, SpaceX and Tesla are building a $55 billion semiconductor manufacturing plant called Terafab in Grimes County, and xAI subleased space at the Seaholm Power Plant on the Colorado River in Austin earlier this ...
On the Q3 earnings call, Elon Musk said the Terafab project could require over $100 billion in long-term capital equipment spending, a staggering figure that stresses the project's ambition.
For Musk, the biggest advantage of combining Tesla and SpaceX could be the freedom to move engineers, computing power and investment between businesses that increasingly depend on the same technologies. Levy has argued that the real value would come from integrating the companies’ AI technologies, rather than cutting costs. Their joint Terafab semiconductor project illustrates the opportunity. The proposed factory would supply chips to two very different customers: Tesla’s Cybercab robotaxis and
Musk’s answer ties the whole plan back to Starship: “As soon as the cost to orbit drops to a low number, it immediately makes extremely compelling sense to put AI in space” (Griessel, 2026). The satellites, the ground data centers, and Tesla’s cars and robots all need chips, which is the reason for Terafab.

Elon Musk says Terafab, the chip fab Tesla and SpaceX are building in Texas, will rank in the top 20 of country GDP from a single building, as it reportedly courts about 10 Korean suppliers.
Tesla already holds a $2 billion stake in SpaceX, according to Ives’ note. He also sees opportunities for the companies to collaborate on software, chip design, robotics, connectivity and Terafab, the planned AI-chip manufacturing project.
A deal with Tesla would bring SpaceX into the EV maker's plans to roll out Optimus robots, its Cybercab business, and ultimately Terafab, Musk's ambitious plan to manufacture chips and reduce production costs by up to 90%.
