That makes SpaceX’s broader hardware strategy relevant. The company’s filing referred to Terafab, a Tesla-Intel chip-making initiative intended to ease future chip shortages for SpaceX.
To handle the 60% to 70% inference load, they are building massive new facilities like the Gigasat factory in Bastrop, Texas, and the 100-million-square-foot Terafab chip plant just to mass-produce 70-meter orbital nodes. Instead of replacing terrestrial data centers, SpaceX is adding an orbital inference network on top of a massive terrestrial training footprint.

As AI compute demand grows exponentially, infrastructure providers like Nscale become essential picks-and-shovels investments. The Terafab initiative announced in March 2026—a collaboration between Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI to manufacture AI chips using Intel's 14A process—illustrates the ...
Tesla now expects its capex to exceed $25 billion this year as it accelerates investment across Optimus humanoid robots, Cybercab robotaxi production, Terafab factory automation and chip development.

“Terafab” refers to a chip manufacturing initiative with a long-term goal of producing one terawatt of compute
Tesla’s A15 chip is to be fabbed concurrently on the 2nm processes of TSMC in Taiwan and Samsung’s Taylor, Texas fab. TSMC’s Arizona fab site may be added to the mix and, eventually, Tesla’s Texas Terafab.
In March 2026, Tesla announced plans to collaborate with SpaceX and xAI (now part of SpaceX) to build TeraFab, billed as "the largest chip manufacturing facility ever." Intel (INTC +4.66%) joined the team in April.
Don't look for Jensen Huang to panic after any dip in AI stocks or the market. More investors should view such declines as chances to buy stock for cheap. Nvidia trades at 31x trailing P/E with $1 trillion revenue in its sights as Vera Rubin targets the agentic AI era. Taiwan Semiconductor, the 'Nvidia of the foundry,' trades at 37x P/E and faces no meaningful near-term competition despite Terafab ...
Partially to address this concern, Musk earlier announced the Tesla Terafab joint project with SpaceX and Intel, a multibillion-dollar initiative to build out a chip production facility "combining logic, memory and advanced packaging under one roof."
Project Terafab, introduced by Elon Musk, is a joint initiative by Tesla and SpaceX to build an advanced semiconductor facility integrating design, manufacturing, packaging, and testing in one place.
SpaceX and Tesla signed on around the Q1 2026 earnings call as partners in Intel’s Terafab project. Google’s TPU v8e is reported to land on EMIB in the second half of 2027, with Apple, Microsoft, and NVIDIA sitting in the talks pile. CFO David Zinsner moved Intel’s external advanced-packaging outlook from a few hundred million to north of a billion dollars across the last two calls, and told CNBC he expects billions of dollars per customer.
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.
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.
SpaceX and Tesla are building Terafab in Texas, which will cost over $100 billion. In the last earnings report, Tesla hinted that it will not achieve a positive free cash flow this year because of this project. SpaceX is also investing billions of dollars in its AI business, including xAI, even as Grok faces intensifying competition from leading AI models developed by OpenAI and Anthropic.
The challenge, however, is that its profitability remains under pressure. While its core business was profitable, its AI ventures are still burning cash. For example, it is a partner with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) in Terafab, a semiconductor project that will cost billions of dollars over time.
