Elon Musk said Tesla, xAI and SpaceX will begin a new project he described as a “Terafab” in Austin, a move tied to the companies’ efforts to develop artificial intelligence chips. Musk’s comments described the initiative as a joint effort involving his electric-vehicle maker Tesla, his AI company xAI and his rocket company SpaceX.
A 4th grade student living next to the proposed Terafab site and other residents pressed Iola ISD trustees Tuesday about traffic, noise and transparency as the district outlined the fast-moving JETI incentive review process.
Elon Musk warns of a worsening global chip and memory shortage threatening Tesla's production. Here's what's happening and what Terafab means for owners.
According to information from the automotiveworld portal, he filed for a license to inaugurate the Tesla Terafab North Campus in 2027, a joint semiconductor initiative between Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, with a budget between $20 billion and $25 billion.

The Wednesday vote comes as the county continues to navigate the tax abatement it approved about six weeks ago for SpaceX’s proposed Terafab project.
Terafab, if it materializes, is vertical integration from ambition. Huawei's semiconductor strategy is vertical integration under constraint. Export controls have blocked Huawei and China’s leading chipmakers from access to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tools and leading-edge foundry capacity around which the frontier semiconductor roadmap is organized.
Now that you understand the market, it's time to buy and trade. Over 100 million crypto users choose to trade on Bitget. Bitget supports a wide range of trading methods for crypto assets such as Terafab, including buying, selling, spot trading, futures trading, on-chain trading, and staking.
SpaceX itself claims that only 7% of their Total Addressable Market (TAM) is from space-related businesses. 93% of that TAM is from AI. The data centers in space is a pipe dream, maybe in 2040s or beyond. xAI is not a frontier lab. Grok is a 3rd rate LLM. They plan to build a Terafab but that won't come online for a decade.
Tesla already supplies Megapack batteries and Cybertrucks to SpaceX and xAI, with purchases totaling roughly $650 million in 2025. The two companies are also collaborating on chip fabrication at the Terafab facility in Austin, Texas, and on an early-stage AI platform called Macrohard.
Tesla and SpaceX are also collaborating on Terafab, a $55 billion chip-building megafactory that aims to produce chips for SpaceX's orbital data centers as well as Tesla's robotaxis and robots.
While some analysts, like Dan Ives from Wedbush, estimate an 80–90% probability of a merger by early 2027, market odds remain significantly lower. The companies, however, already collaborate on various projects, such as the Terafab semiconductor ...
Elon Musk announced Terafab, a proposed chip manufacturing campus in Austin to produce semiconductors for Tesla and SpaceX, aiming for massive terrestrial and orbital compute capacity.
Hanmi Semiconductor will invest 50 billion won in SpaceX to secure equipment supply for Terafab, a $119 billion semiconductor plant in Austin, Texas, the company said Monday.
TrendingJensen Huang SuperAI AI Search NTN Convergence Inference Era AI Advanced Packaging · Trending · SUBSCRIBE · CONNECT WITH US · Home Tech Semiconductors · Sherri Wang, DIGITIMES, Taipei Jun 12, 2026, 11:22 0 · Credit: AFP · Elon Musk's planned Terafab chipmaking project has taken an early equipment-sourcing step, with South Korean equipment maker HPSP reportedly receiving a purchase order for high-pressure hydrogen annealing equipment.
The proposed Terafab is expected to manufacture both logic and memory chips all in the same facility. Initially, the goal is to produce logic chips at the sub-2nm node. And if that isn’t enough, the same facility will also package and test these chips.
