In moving to Texas, Fab2's model of many small, printable fabs now sits beside the likes of Tesla and SpaceX, which announced Terafab back in March, a single Austin megafab targeting a terawatt of annual compute at a cost of up to $119 billion.
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.
Then factor in SpaceX’s $55 billion Terafab chip factory and a $30 billion GPU deal with Google. Clearly, the infrastructure pieces are coming together.
Grimes County residents weary of Terafab, data centers ·
Elon Musk publicly praised ASML and attended its tech conference, validating SpaceX’s Terafab chipmaking project · Micron beat earnings and raised capex to $27 billion; Samsung and SK Hynix announced a combined $520 billion in spending
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.
SpaceX has filed paperwork for a semiconductor fabrication facility, internally referred to as Terafab, in rural Texas, with a projected investment of approximately $55 billion. A $280 million expansion of the existing Bastrop facility is already underway, backed by a $17.3 million grant from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund. That expansion will add one million square feet over three years for semiconductor R&D and advanced packaging operations.
According to previous reports, the Optimus factory is designed to run nearly the full length of the main Giga Texas building — over 4,000 feet — though 50 to 70 meters narrower. It sits on the North Campus alongside the Terafab AI chip facility, a joint venture between Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI...
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.
Meanwhile, Intel's ambitious foundry ... Elon Musk's Terafab project. The global AI semiconductor market is projected to exceed $1.3 trillion by 2026, driven by massive infrastructure investments from hyperscale data center operators. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang predicts that data ...
For a company this new to the public market, it's worth asking what a bet like that could mean -- and what it's worth today. Image source: Getty Images. Terafab begins with a prototype fab in Austin ...
Early this year, SpaceX acquired xAI, his artificial intelligence startup, which is now working with Tesla Inc. and SpaceX on a massive computer chip-making facility Musk has dubbed Terafab.
The larger strategic ambition, however, lies in artificial intelligence, with SpaceX’s ownership of xAI and plans to launch millions of AI compute satellites through a new Texas facility called Gigasat, supported by an integrated chip manufacturing plant named Terafab.
The Dutch company occupies a unique position in global chip production: it is the only supplier of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, which carry a price tag of roughly $400 million apiece and are indispensable to Terafab's planned operations. Taiwan Semiconductor, Samsung, and Intel $INTC — the three dominant chipmakers — all depend on ASML equipment to fabricate cutting-edge AI chips.
Today's brief: Tesla–SpaceX merger speculation hits fever pitch — no deal announced, but Wedbush's Dan Ives puts odds at 80% and prediction markets keep clim...
Listen to what @GavinSBaker said on All-In at 1:04:06: “DRAM is the most important bottleneck, and Elon is focusing the Terafab on memory because he believes memory is the most important bottleneck. Not lasers, not capacitors, not power semis, not NAND, not HDDs.
Over the next century, SpaceX should get even more vertically integrated by producing its own AI chips through a venture it calls Terafab: a chip manufacturing initiative with a long-term goal of producing one terawatt of compute hardware each year.
