An entity that appears to be linked to Elon Musk's companies has purchased land in Grimes County ahead of a June 3 vote related to plans for a multibillion-dollar semiconductor facility.
“Intel’s relationship with Tesla Terafab sounds very experimental right now…[Tesla is] basically calling for a massive expansion of processing and computing chips to the point that they’re concerned that Taiwan Semiconductor is not expanding quickly enough," Colello explains.
In the space of 10 days in March 2026, Elon Musk unveiled TeraFab, a $20-25 billion chip fabrication plant to produce radiation-hardened semiconductors for orbital data centers, and startup Starcloud closed a $170 million Series A at a $1.1 ...
The company also outlines planned work with Tesla and Intel through Terafab.
Bulls point to the 18A process node entering volume production, the preliminary Apple manufacturing agreement, the Terafab deal with Elon Musk's consortium spanning SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI, and Nvidia's $5 billion investment in Intel from September 2025.
"This initiative has the potential to establish India as a key global hub for advanced glass substrates and semiconductor packaging, supporting high-growth sectors such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and next-generation electronics," he said. Intel Joins Elon Musk’s Terafab AI Chip Project.
A joint Terafab manufacturing facility is under development.
The two companies are also collaborating on the Terafab semiconductor manufacturing facility, which is expected to produce advanced chips for multiple Musk-led enterprises. SpaceX brings a dominant launch business, the rapidly expanding Starlink satellite network, and AI capabilities through its links to xAI, while Tesla contributes large-scale manufacturing, energy storage, and an ambitious robotics program. Ives has described such a combined entity as the “holy grail” of Musk’s empire-building
On top of all that, Musk has kicked off plans for the TeraFab, which, when finished, will be the largest semiconductor manufacturing plant in history.
The Transition to Custom ASICs and the “Terafab” Talent Strategy
SpaceX hat in seiner Börsengangsdokumentation auch angegeben, dass das Unternehmen in den Jahren 2024 und 2025 697 Millionen US-Dollar für die Anschaffung von Megapack-Energiespeichersystemen von Tesla ausgegeben hat, um die KI-Datenzentren mit Strom zu versorgen, und weitere 131 Millionen US-Dollar für die Anschaffung von Cybertrucks. Das markanteste Beispiel für die Zusammenarbeit ist das im März dieses Jahres gemeinsam angekündigte „Terafab“-Projekt.
Anyway, most of the structural foundation work for the merger is ready. The announcement of Terafab, the merger of xAI, the shared supply chain, cross - company balance - sheet transactions, and SpaceX's IPO all point in the same direction.
Terafab looms large in the discussion because Musk outlined that Tesla would build the research fabrication plant, with SpaceX taking "care of like the initial phase of the scaled-up Terafab."
Terafab is planned for the Giga Texas North Campus in Austin, with an initial investment of around $55 billion and a total projected spend of $119 billion across all phases, per Wikipedia: Terafab.
But that formula’s reversing: For the final nine months of this year, it’s expecting to spend a total of at least $22.5 billion on capex, far more than the cash from operations delivered by the car and battery franchises. Analysts are predicting sharp increases from those levels as Tesla ramps spending on AI infrastructure for self-driving cars, Optimus and robotics facilities, and its Terafab project.
For organizations attempting to rapidly scale compute-intensive initiatives, securing sufficient hardware has become nearly as important as developing the software itself. To reduce dependence on external suppliers, SpaceX is reportedly pursuing a more ambitious strategy: participating in the development of a domestic semiconductor manufacturing facility known as TeraFab.
Появились подробности о масштабах гигантского полупроводникового завода Terafab, который должен радикально изменить мировую индустрию ИИ. Информацию перепостил у себя на страничке Илон Маск (Elon Musk).

After surging 115%, ASML's 53.5x P/E looks steep compared to TSMC's 36x multiple, making TSMC the better value play in the AI chip boom. ASML's unmatched EUV monopoly supplies every expanding fab, but TSM's impregnable manufacturing moat makes it the stronger long-term buy despite geopolitical risk. Elon Musk's Terafab project signals TSMC can't meet aggressive AI demand timelines, and its conservative expansion pace may leave significant revenue on the table.
The companies are also collaborating on the development of the Terafab semiconductor manufacturing facility, which is expected to produce advanced chips for multiple Musk-led enterprises. Taken together, these developments suggest a growing level of integration that some investors view as groundwork for a larger corporate combination. For Tesla enthusiasts, the attraction of a merger is easy to understand. SpaceX contributes a dominant launch business, the rapidly expanding Starlink satellite ne
