On March 21, Tesla and SpaceX merged their resources into a new venture called "Terafab" designed specifically for manufacturing artificial intelligence chips at an unprecedented scale of one terawatt per year. This massive $50 billion project aims to produce the specialized silicon required by Musk's expanding AI infrastructure as current suppliers can no longer keep up with demand from both companies' operations in Texas and California.

Mar 22, 08:11 Elon Musk announced the Terafab project to manufacture his own AI chips with an estimated investment of $25 billion.
Mar 22, 07:50 The 'Terafab' manufacturing facility near Austin, Texas aims to produce one terawatt (1 TW) or approximately two trillion watts ($\approx$TW = \times{power}{watts} / {terabytes}) of computing power for AI and robotics.

Elon Musk has announced a plan to manufacture his own artificial intelligence chips, robotics components, and data center hardware for space applications through the 'Terafab' project. The facility is located near Austin, Texas.
