In March of this year, Musk first disclosed plans for the chip fabrication facility dubbed "Terafab," describing it as a joint project among SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI.
SpaceX has proposed an initial $55 billion investment to develop a large-scale semiconductor manufacturing complex in Texas, according to newly released regulatory filings. The planned facility, known as Terafab, is being developed in collaboration with Tesla as part of Elon Musk’s broader push to secure in-house chip production capacity for artificial intelligence and advanced computing applications.
In this particular case, however, despite the fact that the two companies already share resources and collaborate on projects such as the planned Terafab microchip plant and orbital data centers, such a merger would really come down to one thing: control, as Yahoo Finance notes.
We expect reusable launch systems and high flight cadence will significantly reduce the cost per kilogram to orbit, enabling more efficient deployment of compute payloads to orbit, and eventually approach the cost of fuel. We believe our advanced satellite manufacturing capabilities enable us to build AI compute satellites at scale and lower cost than competitors. Other terrestrial data center construction costs such as building the shell, MEP, and grid interconnection are not applicable in spac
SpaceX acquired xAI earlier this year in a deal valuing it at $250 billion. The AI unit includes the social media platform X, the Grok assistant, data centres, and a terafab facility that will manufacture semiconductors in partnership with Tesla and Intel.
And last month, SpaceX announced plans to invest $55 billion to build a “Terafab” semiconductor factory in Texas, producing chips for artificial intelligence as well as robotics.
His plan is to use SpaceX's rockets to launch solar-powered, satellite-based data centers to develop and run future AI models. And last month, SpaceX announced plans to invest $55 billion to build a "Terafab" semiconductor ...
Terafab targets two primary chip types: an edge-inference processor optimized for Tesla's full self-driving systems, Optimus humanoid robots, and Robotaxi fleets, plus a high-power variant hardened for space environments, supporting SpaceX satellites, orbital data centers, and xAI initiatives.
And last month, SpaceX announced plans to invest $55 billion to build a “Terafab” semiconductor factory in Texas, producing chips for artificial intelligence as well as robotics.
Residents appeared before the Grimes County Commissioners Court on May 13 to urge commissioners to provide transparency and negotiating power amid a potential $55 billion investment from SpaceX.

SpaceX’s $55B Terafab chip plant in Austin could hit $119B total, boosting AI and space chip supply—and sparking merger talk with Tesla.
Ông Wei đồng thời khẳng định TSMC không lo ngại cạnh tranh từ Intel, Samsung hay bất kỳ đối thủ nào khác trong ngành sản xuất chip. “Tôi chỉ có thể nói ‘chúc may mắn’ với dự án siêu nhà máy chip Terafab của ông Elon Musk.
In terms of news, Jensen Huang stated at the Computex conference that Marvell has the potential to become the next public company with a market capitalization exceeding $1 trillion, adding that it plays a crucial role in large-scale AI data center interconnect infrastructure systems.
Bulls point to the 18A process node entering volume production, the preliminary Apple manufacturing agreement, the Terafab deal with Elon Musk's consortium spanning SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI, and Nvidia's $5 billion investment in Intel from September 2025.
The trend of major customers diversifying their supply chains. Apple has, for the first time, outsourced part of its proprietary chip foundry work to Intel; Tesla is collaborating with both TSMC and Samsung on next-generation AI chips while advancing the Terafab initiative with Intel.
Elon Musk’s Terafab plant sparks fierce opposition and threat of legal action from residents of Texas county
The Terafab project aligns with U.S. efforts under the CHIPS and Science Act to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and reduce reliance on overseas suppliers like TSMC and Samsung.
The factory, named Terafab, is planned for Grimes County, Texas, within a newly designated redevelopment zone. Local authorities will consider an agreement for a property tax exemption in June.
TERAFAB: Elon Musk plans chip fabrication plant in Austin as he pushes toward space-based data centers · The facility "would represent a transformative investment in domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity," according to the Grimes County public hearing announcement.
