A week later it priced a $25B inaugural bond across five tranches (5.35% to 6.65%, 2031 to 2056) to repay the bridge loan, with $100.8B of cash on hand as of June 19. Sequoia’s Roelof Botha joined the board. The company also disclosed the Terafab chip-fab project with Tesla and Intel [INTC 0.00%↑], cloud compute agreements with Anthropic and Google, and Starship V3’s first test flight.
Elon just launched Terafab — Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI combined into one chip factory. Goal: one terawatt of AI compute per year. Every fab on Earth produces 20 gigawatts. He wants 50x that.

Morgan Stanley also highlighted that SpaceX’s vertically integrated manufacturing strategy, including Terafab and Solarfab, will reduce costs in the long run.
The Terafab initiative is a significant step in the semiconductor industry, particularly in the context of increasing demand for advanced chips. Musk's goal to achieve an annual production capacity of 1 terawatt is poised to double the current ...
The Tesla, SpaceX, and X owner says his new ‘Terafab’ facility could rival global leaders like TSMC, but with a potential $300 billion price tag, skeptics are already circling.
The facility, planned for a site ... plant. According to SpaceX's S-1 filing, the Terafab concept covers the full semiconductor value chain from lithography mask design through fabrication of logic and memory chips to advanced packaging....
SpaceX says it is targeting one gigawatt of orbital AI compute by the end of 2026, scaling to 100 gigawatts within three-and-a-half years. To power those orbital data centers, SpaceX says it needs chips, a lot of them. That is where Terafab comes in.
Industry observers anticipate these funds will support Musk’s ambitious Terafab initiative — an extensive chip production facility jointly developed by SpaceX and Tesla. ASML’s cutting-edge extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography systems represent critical infrastructure for this endeavor.
The two companies are also co-investors in "Terafab," a joint facility with Intel for manufacturing AI microchips, with a first-phase cost estimated at $55 billion. In other words, the operational and financial overlap between Tesla and SpaceX ...
The two companies have shared employees ... collaborating on a $55 billion "Terafab" chip-making moonshot that will build semiconductors for SpaceX's AI satellites, as well as Tesla's robotaxis and humanoid robots....
AI Satellite Production Building: Breaking ground mid-2026 ... Comparable Scale: More than 10x larger than Starfactory, SpaceX’s current largest spacecraft manufacturing site · Developer/Owner: SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp.) ... Strategic Partners (Terafab chip supply chain): Tesla and xAI — co-developers of the Terafab semiconductor facility in Austin, Texas, targeting 2nm chip production
Musk framed the project as a necessity, saying, as quoted in reporting: "We either build the Terafab, or we don't have the chips, and we need the chips, so we build the Terafab." As a general matter, moving significant AI compute into orbit raises well-understood obstacles: generating and storing large amounts of power, dissipating heat from high-performance accelerators without atmosphere, hardening processors against radiation, and moving data to and from the ground at high thro
In March 2026, Tesla filed detailed site plans with Travis County outlining a significant expansion — including a new Terafab North Campus, a 2-million-square-foot facility dedicated to next-generation AI chip research and production, and a 290-acre ecological zone.
Tesla hired 17-year Intel fab veteran Gary Jiang, likely to oversee Terafab’s licensing of Intel’s 14A process.
In other recent news, ASML Holding NV has been highlighted in several developments. The company is addressing potential supply constraints related to new projects, such as Elon Musk’s Terafab, as stated by CEO Christophe Fouquet.
SpaceX bought xAI in February, folding in the Colossus data centers and the Grok models, so it has frontier AI in-house. It is building chip packaging at its Bastrop, Texas campus this year and has floated a 55 billion dollar Terafab chip plant ...
The interchangeable chipset is a big deal here because it's how the company aims to address market challenges that could effectively hold back the project. SpaceX previously reported, as shared by Tom's Hardware, that it couldn't supply enough chips for this very same orbital project, which is part of a joint venture with Tesla and its TeraFab solution.
Dubbed Terafab, both companies will first build chip manufacturing facilities that will produce specialized hardware for orbital computing before realizing the goal of constructing data centers in space, with the goal of providing 1 terawatt ...
Foundry execution stays on track. 18A yields are hitting targets, and both the Apple chip deal and Elon Musk’s Terafab project keep ramping up through the rest of 2026.
