SpaceX Terafab Semiconductor Manufacturing Facility

proposed

SpaceX plans to build a multi-phase, vertically integrated semiconductor manufacturing and computing fabrication facility called Terafab in Texas. The facility aims to produce 1 terawatt of chip output per year, exceeding the combined output of all global chipmakers. The project involves an initial investment of up to $55 billion, with total spending potentially reaching $119 billion if additional phases proceed. The Terafab will manufacture chips for Tesla's electric vehicles, Optimus humanoid robots, and SpaceX spacecraft, supporting broader plans for solar-powered AI satellites and space operations.
