Musk Details Terafab Crawl-Walk-Run Plan and Geopolitical Drivers at All-In Summit

Elon Musk's All-In Summit interview covers Terafab origins in Taiwan supply risks and scaling needs, R&D fab timeline at Giga Texas, and vendor strategy.

Key facts

  • Existing fabs cover only ~2% of needed capacity
  • R&D line first: useful chips by end of 2027
  • Geopolitical insurance against Taiwan disruptions
  • Packaging already underway; vendor diversity planned
We've got an R&D line that we're building first. So I think it's kind of crawl, walk, run.
