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.
Future computing power must not only serve data centers but also support humanoid robots and vehicles—requiring simultaneous expansion in logic chips, memory, and advanced packaging. His conclusion: “Either build Terafab, or we cannot continue to scale.” Tesla and SpaceX are advancing ...
Although the details of Terafab remain limited, Feinseth believes the partnership could provide external validation of Intel’s engineering capabilities while creating a potentially significant future customer for its foundry and packaging operations. He also points to the expansion of 18A production, Panther Lake and Xeon 6+ as evidence that Intel’s process roadmap is moving toward higher-volume manufacturing. Taken together, Feinseth believes Intel is building a broader AI platform spanning CPU
Hanmi Semiconductor has secured a monumental order to supply advanced packaging equipment to Elon Musk’s ambitious Texas-based semiconductor megaproject known as Terafab.
On March 21, 2026, SpaceX announced the project to build Terafab, a joint project with Tesla, SpaceX and xAI, to build a large semiconductor fabrication project centering on the construction of a vertically integrated "mega-fab" designed to produce more than one terawatt (one trillion watts) ...
Tesla’s stake in SpaceX, still under one percent, traces back to its earlier investment in xAI, which converted to SpaceX equity after SpaceX absorbed the AI company. The two are also jointly building Terafab, a chip facility in Austin meant to serve both Tesla’s AI computing needs and SpaceX’s satellite ambitions.

Market chatter about a Tesla-SpaceX merger has grown louder throughout 2026. Musk himself has repeatedly discussed the "convergence and integration" of his various companies, and SpaceX and Tesla are already collaborating on a joint project called Terafab, which aims to produce semiconductors in the United States, starting in Texas.
The two are also jointly building Terafab, a chip facility in Austin meant to serve both Tesla’s AI computing needs and SpaceX’s satellite ambitions. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has stood by a 2027 merger timeline for months, and Cathie Wood’s ...
Intel struggled with yields on its 14A process, a 1.4-nanometer-class node, but agreed in April to supply 14A process technology to the Terafab project led by Tesla and SpaceX. Terafab's first product is due in mid-2028. In June, Intel hired Lee Seok-hee, former chief executive of SK hynix (000660), as executive vice president overseeing advanced packaging and back-end technology development and manufacturing in its foundry unit.
Elon Musk and Gwynne Shotwell on Terafab, Starship and a SpaceX-Tesla Merger All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks and Friedberg, and Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX President, joined by Elon Musk Why Terafab exists (chips from Taiwan may not always come), Starship’s flight 14 next with a possible ship catch on flight 15, data centers in space, and Musk’s own take on AI risk and model peer review.
Tigress Financial said Terafab expands Intel’s AI Foundry opportunity as pricing power and manufacturing scale accelerate economic profit recovery.
Project Scope & Investment: The Terafab project represents a $17 billion Phase 1 investment, over $100 billion in total project investment, and a projected $2+ billion economic impact by 2038 across a 100-million-square-foot facility [01:24].
Once fully built out, the Arizona cluster could house roughly 30% of TSMC’s 2nm and more advanced capacity. This suggests a “Taiwan hedge” doesn’t require abandoning semiconductor ETFs—it means shifting focus toward funds heavy in U.S. fabs, equipment, memory, and packaging. Ultimately, Musk’s Terafab is a bet that physical manufacturing capacity is AI’s next bottleneck.
Musk has also repeatedly described a future “convergence” among his companies. SpaceX and Tesla are working together on Terafab, a planned semiconductor fabrication facility in Texas intended to manufacture chips in the US.

Note also that earlier this year, Tesla made a $2B investment in SpaceX Series E Preferred Stock and announced a SpaceX partnership to build what Musk has called the largest chip fab, TeraFab, for vertically integrated semiconductor manufacturing.
Hanmi Semiconductor Co., South Korea’s leading chip packaging equipment maker, has secured a supply deal for Terafab, the massive semiconductor initiativ
Musk’s answer was blunt: "It’s either build Terafab or fail to scale." In addition to GPUs, Musk stressed the need for memory and packaging as part of the scaling challenge.
