Elon Musk launches TERAFAB: The $25B Tesla-SpaceXAI chip factory that will rewire the AI industry ... Ives calls Terafab the “first step” toward full operational integration.
Tesla’s Terafab division is also hiring process integration engineers to build advanced logic chips, with base salaries ranging from $88,000 to $338,280.
Musk describes it as “like a gigafactory, but much bigger,” designed to reach a chip production volume that no supplier can currently guarantee the company. The goal is for Terafab to be a integrated plant that combines logic design, memory, and advanced packaging in a single facility, something unusual in a sector where each phase is usually divided between different specialized factories.
Tesla is recruiting Terafab engineers in Palo Alto and Austin while SpaceX is also ramping up silicon hiring, according to job listings.

Elon Musk’s 1TW Terafab Vision eliminates the decade-long compute bottleneck by scaling from 20 gigawatts to 1 terawatt, granting AI labs, startups, and researchers worldwide orders-of-magnitude more processing power and enabling models that will far surpass today’s systems such as GPT-4. The initiative operationalizes industrial-scale recursive self-improvement, where advanced AI…
Musk said 80 percent of Terafab's compute output would flow to space-based applications, with 20 percent directed at terrestrial use. The orbital ambition connects directly to the February 2026 SpaceX-xAI merger. The SpaceX acquisition of xAI closed in early February 2026, creating a combined entity valued around $1.25 trillion and formalizing Musk's consolidation of rockets, satellites, AI infrastructure, and data platforms.
At the heart of TERAFAB is a clear allocation of output: approximately 80% for space based orbital AI data centers and 20% for terrestrial applications. Musk explained that Earth’s power grid (U.S. electricity generation is only about 0.5 TW) simply cannot support the required scale on the ground.

Although the $20 billion funds injected in Elon Musk's TeraFab project — which is supposed to build logic and memory chips as well as package them under one roof — is barely enough to build a 7nm-class logic fab, Elon Musk's eventual ambitions include producing millions or billions of AI chips that consume 1 terawatt (1 TW) of power per year.
About 20% of the Terafab facility’s annual output will be for “terrestrial” purposes, including chips for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving and Optimus robots, according to the presentation. The remaining capacity will be for space applications, including orbital data centers.

Positive Sentiment: Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives reiterates a bullish view on Tesla and calls the Terafab chip push “an emerging AI powerhouse,” supporting upside thesis for Tesla’s AI/robotics roadmap and the stock’s re-rating.
The project is intended to build advanced chips at very large scale for Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI. Terafab is positioned as a potential competitor to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) in AI and high end chip supply.
Terafab is a large-scale semiconductor plant being developed by Elon Musk through Tesla Inc. and SpaceX. The plant is intended to manufacture chips required for artificial intelligence and high-end computing systems, both on Earth and in space.

Elon Musk has unveiled a plan to move AI infrastructure off Earth entirely, and launch it into orbit using electromagnetic “cannons” built on the Moon. The proposal, revealed during a weekend presentation at Giga Texas, centers on a concept called Project TERAFAB, targeting what Musk calls the “terawatt ceiling” of Earth-bound computing.
Tesla’s CFO acknowledged that the full Terafab cost which is estimated at $20–25 billion , is not yet incorporated into Tesla’s record capital expenditure plan for 2026, which already exceeds $20 billion.
