The supply chain remains a major question. Musk has also announced Terafab, a proposed Texas chip project meant to produce 1 terawatt of compute power per year, much of it for space use.
While some analysts, like Dan Ives from Wedbush, estimate an 80–90% probability of a merger by early 2027, market odds remain significantly lower. The companies, however, already collaborate on various projects, such as the Terafab semiconductor ...
Elon is putting minuscule $80 billion dollars into Terafab. That's not going to change anything. Right now Tesla is recruiting Korean semiconductor engineers in Seoul. It won't be easy. SAMSUNG is paying all the semiconductor engineers $400,000K bonus this year and $700,000 bonus next year.
Foundry Services Potential: Lee sees significant revenue contributions from Intel's foundry services, particularly through partnerships with Terafab and Apple, predicting that Intel will begin to capture market share from Taiwan Semiconductor this year, enhancing its competitive position.
Space Google is reportedly in talks with SpaceX to launch its orbital data centers · Space NASA pushes Mars helicopter rotors past the speed of sound · Space SpaceX files for $55 billion semiconductor fab in rural Texas for Musk's Terafab
Reuters has also reported that SpaceX, xAI -- which it acquired -- and Tesla plan to build two advanced chip factories at the Terafab facility in Austin, Texas, including one for Tesla vehicles and Optimus robots and another for future AI data ...
Elon just launched Terafab — Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI combined into one chip factory. Goal: one terawatt of AI compute per year. Every fab on Earth produces 20 gigawatts. He wants 50x that.
The Tesla, SpaceX, and X owner says his new ‘Terafab’ facility could rival global leaders like TSMC, but with a potential $300 billion price tag, skeptics are already circling.
Elon Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX have pursued Terafab concepts aimed at terawatt-scale computing infrastructure. Estimates for one such effort run toward $20 billion or more. The contrast stands stark. Megafabs versus networks of small ones. Centralized production versus distributed, replicable facilities. Both approaches seek to expand American chipmaking capacity.
Its business story now stretches across launch systems, Starlink, AI infrastructure, chips, data centres, and possible consumer platforms. Our recent look at SpaceX’s $55 billion Terafab AI chip factory plan showed how aggressively the company wants to control more of the AI stack.
See where Tesla and SpaceX rank among the largest Central Texas employers in this report.

Event: Bastrop County Growth Summit 2026 · SpaceX could soon top 2,000 employees here · Elon Musk's Terafab project seeks school tax breaks ·
In moving to Texas, Fab2's model of many small, printable fabs now sits beside the likes of Tesla and SpaceX, which announced Terafab back in March, a single Austin megafab targeting a terawatt of annual compute at a cost of up to $119 billion.
Foundry execution stays on track. 18A yields are hitting targets, and both the Apple chip deal and Elon Musk’s Terafab project keep ramping up through the rest of 2026.
Then factor in SpaceX’s $55 billion Terafab chip factory and a $30 billion GPU deal with Google. Clearly, the infrastructure pieces are coming together.
Grimes County residents weary of Terafab, data centers ·
Elon Musk publicly praised ASML and attended its tech conference, validating SpaceX’s Terafab chipmaking project · Micron beat earnings and raised capex to $27 billion; Samsung and SK Hynix announced a combined $520 billion in spending
Industry observers anticipate these funds will support Musk’s ambitious Terafab initiative — an extensive chip production facility jointly developed by SpaceX and Tesla. ASML’s cutting-edge extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems represent critical infrastructure for this endeavor.
SpaceX has filed paperwork for a semiconductor fabrication facility, internally referred to as Terafab, in rural Texas, with a projected investment of approximately $55 billion. A $280 million expansion of the existing Bastrop facility is already underway, backed by a $17.3 million grant from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund. That expansion will add one million square feet over three years for semiconductor R&D and advanced packaging operations.
According to previous reports, the Optimus factory is designed to run nearly the full length of the main Giga Texas building — over 4,000 feet — though 50 to 70 meters narrower. It sits on the North Campus alongside the Terafab AI chip facility, a joint venture between Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI...
In March 2026, Tesla filed detailed site plans with Travis County outlining a significant expansion — including a new Terafab North Campus, a 2-million-square-foot facility dedicated to next-generation AI chip research and production, and a 290-acre ecological zone.
