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.
SpaceX has won a 100% property tax abatement from Grimes County, Texas, for its proposed, massive $55 billion Terafab semiconductor chip manufacturing facility.
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.
According to reports from the meeting, county officials cited the project’s potential economic impact, including new investment, infrastructure development, and job creation.
Q1 FY2026 revenue of $44.062 billion, with Data Center at $39.112 billion (+73% YoY), and Jensen Huang called the moment "the largest infrastructure expansion in human history". Musk is building a vertically integrated AI machine across Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, and the bill already runs into the multi-billions per quarter. You should be bullish on TSLA if you believe Optimus, Robotaxi, and the Terafab pay off before cash burn forces dilution.
Wei went further, revealing that Intel remains one of TSMC's top ten customers, bluntly stating that "TSMC wants to earn his money," encapsulating the delicate relationship of both competition and cooperation between the two. Regarding the recent joint announcement by Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI to establish a massive wafer fabrication facility named "Terafab" in Austin, Texas, Wei responded only with a terse "wish him well," declining further comment.

SpaceX has secured approval for tax incentives tied to its proposed Terafab semiconductor and advanced computing facility in Grimes County, Texas, overcoming strong resistance from local residents who fear the development could dramatically reshape the rural community.
Chips, also commonly called semiconductors, are found in nearly all electronic devices. Elon Musk's SpaceX is building Terafab to create chips for its Starlink broadband internet satellites and the data centers it plans to launch into space, ...
Terafab cible deux types de puces : un processeur d’inférence optimisé pour les systèmes Full Self-Driving de Tesla, les robots humanoïdes Optimus et les flottes de Robotaxi, ainsi qu’une variante haute puissance durcie pour les environnements spatiaux, destinée aux satellites SpaceX, aux centres de données orbitaux et aux serveurs xAI.
Intel memiliki apa yang tidak dimiliki Musk: fasilitas pabrik domestik di AS, ribuan talenta insinyur semikonduktor, hubungan erat dengan pemerintah (pendanaan CHIPS Act), serta teknologi pengemasan (advanced packaging) mutakhir. Melalui proyek Terafab, Intel telah menandatangani kesepakatan untuk bertindak sebagai mitra manufaktur utama menggunakan teknologi proses 14A milik mereka.
