Marcus SchulerTesla and SpaceX pitched a $25B "Terafab" chip manufacturing project targeting 2nm processors, with initial operations planned for Austin. No timeline or funding details were provided. The venture would mark Tesla's first chip fab - the company currently relies on TSMC and Samsung foundries still ramping production. Musk estimates 80% of output would serve space-based AI satellites rather than terrestrial uses. #ChipManufacturing #SpaceAI #Semiconductors
Tesla and SpaceX Pitch $25B Terafab Chip Project, No Timelin
Musk's $25B Terafab targets 2nm chips at what he says would match 70% of TSMC's global output. Tesla has never operated its own chip fab. No timeline was given, the cost isn't clearly budgeted, and Tesla's next-gen chip plans depend on outside foundries still ramping up.
