The whole premise behind spacex ipo'ing is to raise cash for their million orbital datacenters. And then there is the 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.
It's the same as musk's other companies where they're posting fake jobs to juice the stock price. There's no '<strong>terafab</strong>' so there is no process engineer jo
Giga Texas already sits on 2,500 acres with over 10 million square feet of existing factory floor, and the North Campus expansion is being built to support multiple projects, including the dedicated Optimus factory, the Terafab chip fabrication facility (a joint Tesla/SpaceX/xAI venture), a Cybercab test track, road infrastructure, and supporting facilities.
Musk has indicated Terafab could reach up to 100 million square feet—making it dramatically larger than Tesla’s already massive Giga Texas facility.
Tesla plans to invest $25 billion in 2025, nearly tripling last year's spending, with Q1 operating profit up 136% to $941 million, and picks Intel's 14A process for its Terafab AI chip project.
Tesla’s recent performance reflects a 19% rebound in stock value over the past month, despite a year-to-date decline. A reported SpaceX–Tesla Terafab plan, which proposes a vertically integrated chip and computing plant targeting 2nm chips with a potential investment of $55–119 billion, ...
But now, some of these companies are shifting their attention to on-orbit AI data centers. Just like Internet satellites come with a series of advantages over ground-based infrastructure, data center satellites promise a lot of savings and the potential of virtually unlimited growth in an environment that’s much less restrictive than the surface of the planet. You probably know by now that SpaceX and its sister companies are putting together the Terafab Project, the largest chip-building effort
Investing.com-- Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk said on Wednesday that the Terafab joint venture plans to use Intel’s advanced 14A manufacturing process to make semiconductors.
Nvidia head Jensen Huang, to try to convince them to get into business with Intel, the WSJ report said. Last month, Musk said Tesla will use Intel's next-generation 14A manufacturing process to make chips at its Terafab project, an advanced ...
For Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who has spent the past year rebuilding Intel around an external foundry strategy, Terafab is the marquee customer the company has been searching for. Tan posted: "Elon has a proven track record of reimagining entire industries. This is exactly what is needed in semiconductor manufacturing today."
📊 The Terafab win highlights external demand for Intel's foundry services, which could be important for how you think about the long term role of contract manufacturing in the business mix.

Combined with Terafab’s chiplet architecture and rapid in-house iteration, this partial localization lowers the overall dependence on scarce EUV tools.
TERAFAB, the project spearheading this vision, aims to utilize resources from Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI to tackle the overwhelming demands of AI and space‑related technologies. This initiative highlights a strategic departure from traditional reliance on silicon‑based components due to bottlenecks faced with ASML's EUV lithography machines, essential for advanced chip fabrication.
It is the only producer of EUV lithography machines, which deploy extremely short wavelengths of light to pattern intricate circuits on silicon wafers. To build the most advanced logic at dense 3nm or 2nm nodes, EUV is mandatory.
That specific shrinking process requires ASML's most advanced, heavily backlogged EUV machinery. GaN operates under a different set of physical rules. It can handle significantly higher voltages, temperatures, and frequencies than silicon. Because of these inherent material advantages, highly efficient GaN chiplets can be manufactured on slightly more mature nodes using widely available Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) lithography equipment. By leaning heavily into GaN architectures, TERAFAB can side
New filings linked to SpaceX reveal ... hubs in the United States. According to Euronews, SpaceX filed plans for a $55 billion facility known as Terafab in Grimes County, Texas....
1Terafab is a $25B joint venture between Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, and Intel targeting 2nm chip production at Giga Texas — but Bernstein estimates the full 1 TW ambition would cost $5 trillion or more.
