While the public notice about the potential tax abatements does not mention Terafab — a $20-plus billion joint venture of Musk’s Tesla Inc., xAI and SpaceX — by name, it describes the project as a "multi-phase, next-generation, vertically integrated semiconductor manufacturing and advanced computing fabrication facility, which would represent a transformative investment in domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity."
Commercial Property Executive reports the proposed “Terafab” facility could rise near College Station in Grimes County, roughly midway between Houston and Austin, according to reporting from the Houston Chronicle.
According to reports at the time, Terafab is designed to produce chips for Tesla vehicles, Optimus robots, and high-powered space computing applications — targeting 1 trillion watts of computing power per year.

Recognising the challenges faced by semiconductor supply chains, SpaceX recently announced that it will be building a $55 billion semiconductor manufacturing and advanced computing facility called Terafab.
In March 2026, Tesla and SpaceX unveiled plans for a chip manufacturing facility called Terafab, targeting leading-edge 2-nanometer (nm) chips and designed to ultimately support up to one terawatt of compute capacity annually, according to TheStreet.
Excerpted with edits: https://itif.org/publications/2026/04/20/explaining-the-relative-competitive-decline-of-americas-automotive-industry/ Intel shares rose 114.1% in April 2026. Why? Market analysts argue: 1) Intel’s Foundry-branded chip manufacturing services scored a couple of wins. The unit signed a long-term partnership with Tesla making Intel a founding partner of the upcoming Terafab chip-making facility (although details were vague).
Elon Musk’s Terafab project will use Intel’s design, manufacturing, and packaging expertise for AI chips serving Tesla’s (TSLA) robotics program and xAI’s data centers. Terafab is Musk’s initiative to build a domestically sourced AI compute stack, from chip design through data center deployment, reducing dependency on TSMC and Nvidia.
Total investment in the mega semiconductor plant 'Terafab' that Elon Musk (일론 머스크) is pursuing in eastern Texas could reach as much as $119 billion (about 172.43 trillion won), it has been found.
To realize the vision of orbital data centers, SpaceX submitted a license application in February to launch as many as 1 million satellites to serve as data centers. SpaceX has also partnered with Tesla (TSLA) to launch the chip manufacturing project Terafab, aiming to achieve self-sufficiency in chip production and reduce costs.
