Business Insider has reported that SpaceX plans to build out Terafab in Grimes County, Texas, but this is unconfirmed. ... Musk confirmed recently that it would not be on Giga Texas property, as it is simply too large.
SpaceX's orbital data center buildout ... probably haven't fully priced in. SpaceX's Terafab facility may eventually replace Nvidia's chips with proprietary silicon, capping the long-term upside of the space data center ...
My first question is really about the foundry competition. I understand that there's no shortcut for a newcomer like TeraFab, but · how about like Samsung Foundry, right? They got a huge profit from memory business. Intel got a US policy support. So I'm not · sure how TSMC is going to address those competition because apparently several US companies are engaging with those industry
Terafab will ultimately be as large as 10 Tesla Gigafactories and output 1TW of solar and compute a year, twice the total current US electricity consumption
Space SpaceX files for $55 billion semiconductor fab in rural Texas for Musk's Terafab · CPUs Intel invests $5.7 billion in Ireland fab · Latest in Tech Industry · Data Centers Elon Musk spent $1 billion on an energy company to power xAI ·
Musk estimates the technology could be cost-competitive in two to three years. In March, Musk unveiled Terafab, a massive semiconductor initiative designed to give Tesla, SpaceX and xAI direct control over the chips powering their A.I.
The two companies already share extensive commercial ties, including joint ownership of the Terafab chip facility, and SpaceX bought $697 million of Tesla's Megapack battery systems in 2024 and 2025.

Cursor's answer is Cursor Bench, a private eval suite built from real engineering tasks in their own codebase. The compute infrastructure enabling this work comes through a SpaceX partnership announced in March 2026, giving Cursor access to the Colossus supercomputer — 200,000 GPUs stood up in roughly seven months — and the Terafab chip fabrication facility.
It plans to similarly ramp up capacity for deep ultraviolet (DUV) tools, which are needed for less advanced chips and by customers in China. CFO Roger Dassen told reporters that the capacity expansion takes into account the needs of new customer Terafab, which Elon Musk is building in Texas to supply chips to SpaceX and Tesla.

On the external competition front, institutional investors are expected to continue monitoring Intel's EMIB advanced packaging and the potential impact of Elon Musk's TeraFab concept. AI chip competition has extended beyond pure process technology to encompass advanced packaging and overall production capacity supply.
Terafab remains a stated vision with no disclosed timeline, but it reinforces the direction of travel. Three publicly traded companies look positioned to benefit if U.S. memory investment accelerates. Each occupies a distinct point in the fab value chain, from lithography tools to metrology to physical construction. ASML (NASDAQ:ASML) holds a global monopoly on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, meaning no advanced memory or logic fab can be built without its systems.
Another key focus of the conference will be the competitive landscape between TSMC and rivals such as Samsung and the Terafab project, jointly promoted by Tesla, SpaceX and xAI, which aims to build a semiconductor fab in Austin, Texas.
