Can Elon Actually Build Terafab by 2028?

Is the Elon Musk Terrafab project actually 50 times the size of the Pentagon? We do the math on the new Tesla and SpaceX semiconductor fabrication plant in Grimes County, Texas.

Elon Musk recently claimed this massive facility would dwarf the Pentagon, but official filings suggest a different reality. In this video, we break down the manufacturing scale of the 100-million-square-foot campus, comparing it directly to Giga Texas and the Pentagon to see where the numbers diverge.

We also examine the financial roadmap, infrastructure costs, and technical challenges of building a cutting-edge semiconductor fab from scratch. Filings show Phase 1 costs starting at $16.8 billion, with total investments potentially reaching $119 billion across four conditional phases.

We look at everything inside the plan:

• The Intel 14A 1.4nm process node partnership

• Rumoured ASML High-NA EUV lithography machines

• Off-grid 10GW power using Tesla Megapacks and gas turbines

• On-site water treatment usin
