# SpaceX Files Plans For A $119 Billion Chip Factory To Feed Musk's Four Other Companies — Aninews ep 14 Daily AI news satire. SpaceX disclosed in a federal filing that Terafab, its planned chip factory outside Austin, could cost up to $119B across all phases — and every customer of the fab (SpaceX rockets, Tesla cars, Tesla robots, xAI data centers) is also an owner.

It is being built outside Austin, in the Texas desert. ### Beat 4 The project is jointly developed by SpaceX, Tesla, xAI, and Intel. ### Beat 5 By the project's own description, the goal is the most epic chip-building effort ever attempted. ### Beat 6 The plant is engineered to produce more than one terawatt of artificial intelligence compute capacity per year. ### Beat 7 A terawatt is one trillion watts. ### Beat 8 The chips Terafab is designed to produce will go to four customers. ### Beat 9 SpaceX rockets. Tesla self-driving cars. Tesla humanoid robots. And xAI's data centers. ### Beat 10 All four are owned by the man at the center of the project. ### Beat 11 Vertical integration, at this scale, is unusual. Vertical integration where every customer is also the supplier is something else. ### Beat 12 Terafab breaks ground this year. The forge, in the end, mostly feeds itself. ## Sources [Elon Musk's Terafab chip factory in Texas could cost up to $119 billion, filing shows (CNBC)]() [SpaceX Proposes $55 Billion to Begin Terafab Project in Texas (Bloomberg)]() [SpaceX Files Plan for $55 Billion Terafab Chip Facility in Texas (US News)]() [SpaceX Files Plans for $55B Semiconductor Fab in Texas (Basenor)]() [Musk's In-House AI Chip Factory Plan (Memeburn)]() [Terafab (Wikipedia)]() ## Transcript For most of the history of the chip industry, the largest factories cost tens of billions of dollars to build. In a federal filing this month, SpaceX disclosed plans for one that could cost as much as a hundred and nineteen billion. The factory is called Terafab. It is being built outside Austin, in the Texas desert. The project is jointly developed by SpaceX, Tesla, xAI, and Intel. By the project's own description, the goal is the most epic chip-building effort ever attempted. The plant is engineered to produce more than one terawatt of artificial intelligence compute capacity per year. A terawatt is one trillion watts. The chips Terafab is designed to produce will go to four customers. SpaceX rockets. Tesla self-driving cars. Tesla humanoid robots. And xAI's data centers. All four are owned by the man at the center of the project. Vertical integration, at this scale, is unusual. Vertical integration where every customer is also the supplier is something else. Terafab breaks ground this year. The forge, in the end, mostly feeds itself. ## Pre-roll disclosure ⚠ SATIRE — AI-GENERATED PARODY — NOT REAL ## Related tracker entries [SpaceX Files Plans For A $119 Billion Chip Factory To Feed Musk's Four Other Companies — Aninews ep 14]() Status and dates describe the published record, not a recent test of an external service.
