And similar to Samsung, TSMC confirmed a 30% bonus bump for its employees this year given robust global demand. All this despite the efforts by many of its top customers like Elon Musk to boost independent chip fab infrastructure with its Terafab initiative, in partnership with Intel and others.
The agreements reveal a minimum $5 billion investment, an unsigned signature line, and a clause that lets SpaceX walk away at any time.
SpaceX’s proposed Terafab in Texas, developed with Tesla and Intel, aims to establish vertically integrated advanced semiconductor manufacturing for AI and autonomy, addressing supply chain control, resource-intensive fab operations, local ...
Grimes County officially releases SpaceX Terafab agreement documents
Wei said TSMC is not afraid of competition from Intel, Samsung, or newcomers, and he wished Elon Musk good luck on Terafab, Musk's plan to build large, leading-edge chip plants from scratch — while cautioning that such a project would take ...
The virtual event comes a day before SpaceX is set to go public at a potential valuation of $1.75 billion. The Terafab, a joint venture between SpaceX, Tesla, and Intel to construct a series of enormous semiconductor factories, is a key part ...
The approval was granted despite ... impacts, water use and the scale of incentives being offered. However, county officials cited the project's economic benefits and its potential to establish a major new semiconductor manufacturing hub in Texas. If completed, Terafab would rank ...

SpaceX acquired xAI earlier this year in a deal valuing it at $250 billion. The AI unit includes the social media platform X, the Grok assistant, data centres, and a terafab facility that will manufacture semiconductors in partnership with Tesla and Intel.
If Terafab’s first phase alone gets built, Grimes County’s market value could more than quadruple to around $68 billion, surpassing the entire Brazos County property value in a single phase.
He also explained that the while humans operate a few hundred bits per second, computers can demand trillions, making memory infrastructure the backbone of future innovation.To address this shortfall, Musk is aggresivly building the Terafab project which aims at scaling the memoary production to levels capable of supporting orbital AI data centers and next-generation Starlink satellites.
Wei brushed aside worries about competition from Intel Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co., saying TSMC has never lacked rivals and will keep outperforming them through technology leadership and customer trust. On billionaire Elon Musk's reported plans to build a large-scale chip facility dubbed "Terafab," Wei offered a brief response: "Best wishes to him."
TSMC CEO C C Wei (pictured) has wished Elon Musk ‘Good Luck’ in his pursuit of a 1m wpm TeraFab, adding: “It will take quite long.” Speaking at the TSMC
This is all against the reality of TSMC’s top customers scrounging to make their own AI chips against their top ‘Frenemies’ supplier Nvidia. With Nvidia founder/CEO Jensen Huang balancing the realities of US/China and Taiwan geopolitics. And Elon Musk’s ambitions to counter with his own aspirational ‘Terafab’ chip facilities in partnership with Intel and others.
Ông Wei đồng thời khẳng định TSMC không lo ngại cạnh tranh từ Intel, Samsung hay bất kỳ đối thủ nào khác trong ngành sản xuất chip. “Tôi chỉ có thể nói ‘chúc may mắn’ với dự án siêu nhà máy chip Terafab của ông Elon Musk.
At TSMC’s annual shareholder meeting, CEO CC Wei said that the firm is working hard to meet demand in trying not to be a bottleneck for the AI industry; would like to hike prices (but not in the sharp way of the memory firms); was not afraid of competition by US, Korean, or Chinese fabs; and wished Elon Musk good luck in his Terafab project, saying it would take a long-time for Terafab to deliver mass, cutting-edge chips as promised.
Terafab aims to manufacture advanced semiconductors for autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots, AI systems, satellites, and future orbital data centers. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives described SpaceX as a central component of Musk’s broader AI strategy, ...
Terafab would give Musk more control over the chips and computing power needed across SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI.
And last month, SpaceX announced plans to invest $55 billion to build a “Terafab” semiconductor factory in Texas, producing chips for artificial intelligence as well as robotics.
Residents in a small Texas county are also now protesting SpaceX's proposed Terafab semiconductor facility in another sign of growing backlash against AI across the country.
