SpaceX and Tesla Invest $16.8 Billion to Build Large AI Chip Plant in Texas
SpaceX and Tesla are investing USD 16.8 billion to build Terafab, a 100-million-square-foot advanced AI semiconductor facility in Grimes County, Texas. The plant will produce logic and memory chips under one roof to support Tesla's robots, Cybercabs, and SpaceX's orbital data centers. The first phase will create over 3,000 high-paying jobs, with future expansions expected to increase investment and employment. Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced a USD 30 million grant to support the project, which aims to address global chip supply shortages and meet Musk's ventures' computing needs.
