-- ASML Holding Chief Executive Christophe Fouquet had contact with Elon Musk about the Terafab project that aims to build chips for SpaceX, xAI and Tesla, Reuters reports following an interview with Fouquet on the sidelines of a tech event in Antwerp, Belgium. -- Fouquet expects the first chips to be made within months using ASML's high numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet lithography systems, Reuters reports, noting that Intel is set to be an early adopter of the machines.
To start, the Terafab facility in Texas is going to cost $55 billion. But it’s not going to stop there. At the end of the day, the shift to fabs might end up costing something closer to $119 billion. Is it an unprecedented rolling of the dice?
Industry sources indicate that ... components. When the company that monopolizes 60% of TSMC’s advanced packaging capacity starts looking for alternatives, the structural logic is unmistakable. And then there is TeraFab....

Apple is said to be one of the customers to leverage 14A, while Elon Musk's TeraFab is also going to use it for making their own AI chips. But Lip-Bu is all set to compete with TSMC's 1.4nm with its own 14A 1.4nm tech, at the same time.
Pay $300+ for one component, or switch to MediaTek’s Dimensity 9600, which uses the same 2nm node without Qualcomm’s premium markup. We’d expect MediaTek adoption to climb noticeably this year. That’s also why we’re seeing some of the biggest names in tech — including Elon Musk’s $55 billion Terafab project — push to build their own chip factories rather than depend on TSMC pricing.

The announcement that SpaceX is considering building its Terafab semiconductor facility in Grimes County has generated significant buzz in Aggieland where local government officials gathered Monday to learn more about the proposed $119 billion ...
I’d estimate Capex for Tesla and SpaceX likely is in the area of $40 Bn. in 2026, if not higher. Because TeraFab, xAI now SpaceX AI, and Orbital compute plans doesn’t come cheap. They barely make any money compared to their IPO valuation.
Apple is said to be one of the customers expected to use 14A. Elon Musk’s TeraFab is expected to use it for its own AI chips. Tan reckons Chipzilla will go up against TSMC’s 1.4nm technology at the same time.

The partnership suggests the potential SpaceX Terafab semiconductor facility could be a game-changer for the region. Tom Johnson, CEO and president of the Greater Brazos Partnership, said the project carries a total investment estimate of up to $119 billion. “We think just the operations alone is going to support over 2,000 jobs in the economy.
“Given Tesla’s sizable cash burn this year ($7 billion estimate by BNPP) and indications for massive multi-year investments on the horizon tied to a TeraFab and 100 GW solar capacity, the ‘stakes’ of TSLA’s demonstrated robotaxi and Optimus progress could not be higher,” analysts ...
