SpaceX spent $15.8 billion building AI compute infrastructure in just three months — more than four times what its entire Space division spent on capital projects throughout 2025. And Elon Musk is already warning that global chip production isn't scaling fast enough to meet AI demand.
When Musk announced the project in March, he said existing manufacturers were not increasing output quickly enough for the combined needs of SpaceX and Tesla. Terafab is intended to bring logic, memory and advanced packaging under one programme.
Elon Musk says SpaceX will hit $1 trillion in revenue by 2030 but Amazon may beat him to it first
Musk's $1 trillion prediction for SpaceX is not impossible. The company's Starlink satellite internet service, its launch business, its space-based data center ambitions and the Terafab chip factory it is co-developing with Tesla could collectively generate revenues that are difficult to model today.
