A separate bearish user said, “$SPCX If Terafab gets built and space‑based computing power is deployed at scale, I believe the stock could hit $500.
SpaceX’s plans for orbital computing ... Earth orbit. Terafab will fabricate radiation-hardened chips engineered to withstand severe thermal fluctuations and cosmic radiation without operational failure....
SpaceX’s existing Texas footprint accounts for more than 56,000 direct and indirect jobs and over $28 billion in estimated economic impact since 2024, plus hundreds of millions in indirect tax revenues.
Tesla and SpaceX confirmed a $16.8 billion first-phase investment in Terafab, a 100-million-square-foot chip factory planned for Grimes County, Texas, that will employ at least 3,000 people.
SpaceX has announced two mega-projects representing at least $116.8 billion in combined investment, all within less than three weeks: • Terafab in Texas, the world’s largest chip manufacturing facility. • Starbase, Louisiana, the world’s largest spaceport.
But there are other big fish to fry for the tech giant in Texas. SpaceX announced earlier in August it is building a manufacturing operation for vertically integrated semiconductors—dubbed “Terafab”—which will become the world’s largest building once constructed.
Terafab is planned as a $16.8 billion complex spanning roughly 100 million square feet at the Grimes County site SpaceX confirmed last month, built to produce chips for Optimus robots, Tesla’s AI computing needs and SpaceX’s orbital data ...
Dyer credited the shift to JETI (Texas Jobs, Energy, Technology and Innovation Act) agreements — state-led tax breaks for Terafab — that the Iola ISD board approved in a contentious 5-2 vote in July.
SpaceX, Tesla, and computer manufacturer Intel have proposed a development known as the Terafab at Gibbons Creek in Grimes County, Texas.
Tesla shares have gained 12% over the past month, outpacing Alphabet and Nvidia, driven by progress on the Terafab AI semiconductor project in Texas and the upcoming opening of its Nevada Semi factory. Terafab AI signed a tax-value limitation agreement with a Texas school district covering construction from December 2026 through 2028.
Tesla is also planning a broader move into semiconductor production. Musk introduced Terafab in March as a proposed U.S. facility combining logic chips, memory, packaging, and manufacturing.
At this scale, architects are not merely designing rooms, corridors and production halls. They are designing territorial systems. Elon Musk announces TeraFab, Picture by SpaceX broadcast on X
Recent ConstructConnect News coverage of the Meta data center expansion in Richland Parish, SpaceX and Tesla’s Texas Terafab plan, and Louisiana’s broader construction market offers additional context on infrastructure demands, workforce competition, and the scale of investment now moving through the region.
With a proposed million satellites from one company alone, experts have flagged collision risk with debris and other spacecraft, and others object to what a cluttered sky does to the night. Eventually Starmind may lean on Terafab, a $119 billion chip manufacturing plant SpaceX is building jointly with Tesla, but NVIDIA carries the near-term timeline.
The company is under pressure to convince investors it will be profitable while it pursues expansion, and it is simultaneously funding other very large projects, including a 16.8 billion dollar AI chip making complex in Texas called the Terafab announced with Tesla.
The company also has begun construction of a chip factory in Grimes County, Texas, known as the Terafab, that will be key to Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s vision of vertically integrating its supply chain and launching orbital data centers.
Terafab’s 44 job openings span lithography, deposition, etching, epitaxy, integration, and memory design. Cleanroom-construction roles have increased from 9% to 39% of openings. Satellite imagery still shows only limited site clearing: organizational build-out has begun, but physical construction remains at an early stage.
The announcement comes on the heels of SpaceX's massive public offering. The company also recently announced plans to build a "Terafab" chip foundry in Texas that will supply AI processors to its SpaceXAI division.
Tesla (TSLA) stock rises 12% as the company advances its $16.8B Terafab chip project in Texas and prepares to open its Semi factory in Nevada this September.
Approximately 75% of the Terafab's chips will be allocated to SpaceX's orbital data centers and satellite constellations, while the remaining 25% will power Tesla's Optimus robots, self-driving vehicles, and Cybercabs.
