Elon Musk Confirms Tesla and SpaceX Will Build and Operate Texas Terafab Facility
Elon Musk's Terafab project, aimed at producing advanced AI chips in Texas, will be built and operated by Tesla and SpaceX, with Musk ruling out TSMC taking control. TSMC may sublease a portion of the facility, while Intel remains a development partner. The project seeks to create a semiconductor ecosystem supporting Musk's companies, with potential investment reaching $119 billion. Discussions with TSMC are ongoing but remain at an early stage, and the facility's construction and operation timeline spans several years.
