Terafab Chip Factory Costs Up to $119 Billion, Musk Discloses

Elon Musk's planned Terafab chip manufacturing facility in Texas could initially cost $55 billion for the first phase, with a potential total investment reaching $119 billion if fully realized. The project aims to facilitate chip production for Musk's companies, including SpaceX, xAI, and Tesla (TSLA), with Intel participating to help design and produce high-performance chips. A public hearing is set for June 3 in Grimes County to discuss tax incentives related to the project. This facility is part of Musk's long-term strategy to secure the supply chain for semiconductor needs amidst rising geopolitical risks.
