If Terafab’s first phase alone gets built, Grimes County’s market value could more than quadruple to around $68 billion, surpassing the entire Brazos County property value in a single phase.
He also explained that the while humans operate a few hundred bits per second, computers can demand trillions, making memory infrastructure the backbone of future innovation.To address this shortfall, Musk is aggresivly building the Terafab project which aims at scaling the memoary production to levels capable of supporting orbital AI data centers and next-generation Starlink satellites.
Wei brushed aside worries about competition from Intel Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co., saying TSMC has never lacked rivals and will keep outperforming them through technology leadership and customer trust. On billionaire Elon Musk's reported plans to build a large-scale chip facility dubbed "Terafab," Wei offered a brief response: "Best wishes to him."
TSMC CEO C C Wei (pictured) has wished Elon Musk ‘Good Luck’ in his pursuit of a 1m wpm TeraFab, adding: “It will take quite long.” Speaking at the TSMC
This is all against the reality of TSMC’s top customers scrounging to make their own AI chips against their top ‘Frenemies’ supplier Nvidia. With Nvidia founder/CEO Jensen Huang balancing the realities of US/China and Taiwan geopolitics. And Elon Musk’s ambitions to counter with his own aspirational ‘Terafab’ chip facilities in partnership with Intel and others.
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.
At TSMC’s annual shareholder meeting, CEO CC Wei said that the firm is working hard to meet demand in trying not to be a bottleneck for the AI industry; would like to hike prices (but not in the sharp way of the memory firms); was not afraid of competition by US, Korean, or Chinese fabs; and wished Elon Musk good luck in his Terafab project, saying it would take a long-time for Terafab to deliver mass, cutting-edge chips as promised.
Terafab aims to manufacture advanced semiconductors for autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots, AI systems, satellites, and future orbital data centers. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives described SpaceX as a central component of Musk’s broader AI strategy, ...
Terafab would give Musk more control over the chips and computing power needed across SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI.
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 in a small Texas county are also now protesting SpaceX's proposed Terafab semiconductor facility in another sign of growing backlash against AI across the country.

The project in Grimes County northwest of Houston could balloon to a projected $119 billion.
TeraFab delivers a major win for U.S. semiconductor sovereignty. Musk has repeatedly highlighted geopolitical risks, noting that reliance on overseas fabs—particularly in Taiwan—leaves critical technologies vulnerable to conflict or export controls. A domestic facility of this magnitude directly supports the goals of the CHIPS and Science Act by expanding advanced-node manufacturing capacity on American soil.
The project, called Terafab, is intended to supply chips to power artificial intelligence for SpaceX and Tesla, Mr. Musk’s electric car company.
Kyle company now supplying Samsung's Taylor fab as operations ramp up · Musk-linked entity buys likely Terafab site near College Station ·
Event: Austin-San Antonio Growth Summit 2026 · Kyle company now supplying Samsung's Taylor fab as operations ramp up · Musk-linked entity buys likely Terafab site near College Station · Developer details plans for another big data center project · Elon Musk lands tax break for massive chip plant ·
The Terafab project is an ambitious plan to construct a series of large semiconductor “fabs” or fabrication plants to produce chips for robotaxis, humanoid robots, and solar-powered data centers in space.
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 ...
Zaranthos said:Don't worry, Terafab will replace the production you weren't able to provide once they make all the chips they need for satellites, cars, and Tesla bots. :tonguewink: This is only half a joke. Musk built Colossus in record time and now rents it to the competition.The example of Colossus is actually more instructive than you might've thought.
