Terafab approximate size comparison between Giga Texas, the Pentagon, Apple Park, and the Mall of America.

There has never been a building this large. Elon Musk says it will be the most valuable building by far.

[Eric Trump @EricTrump]

“overpromising and underdelivering”

SpaceX launched ~80-85% of ALL mass to orbit in 2025. To put that in context, China did ~8-10%. One private company outpaced the rest of Earth (far exceeding the two largest superpowers). 165 successful Falcon flights with zero failures. Reusable boosters flying 30+ times…

What absolute shit journalism by Bloomberg. @elonmusk

Terafab Texas will be the largest and most valuable building on Earth by far.

And it will be stunningly beautiful.

I was at Camp David with President Trump and Secretary Hegseth. This literally never happened, and we told the Washington Post that repeatedly. This B.S. story was shopped to many outlets by someone clearly out to disparage the Secretary, for whatever reason. Unfortunately for them, the President loves the Secretary and thinks he’s doing a tremendous job. FAKE NEWS!

President Trump congratulating Elon Musk on being a risk-taker and choosing not to spend his Internet fortune from PayPal, on yachting and world luxuries, but instead investing in America's declining space industry and bringing back respect to the United States of America.

SpaceX: "Today, we are announcing that Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas. The facility will be an advanced semiconductor fab that will bridge the divide between current global chip supply and the compute demand of the future.

The combined SpaceX and Tesla demand for chips is expected to be in excess of 1 terawatt (TW) of compute, which is significantly larger than the current global supply. While we are deeply appreciative of our current chip suppliers, and encourage them to expand production whenever possible, this looming gulf between supply and demand is at the core of Terafab’s necessity.

Terafab will be epic in both its mission and in its sheer size, designed to build new compute at an unprecedented scale and speed. A vertically integrated factory with more than 100 million square feet of manufacturing space is planned. This facility will house the manufacturing, packaging, and testing of advanced logic and memory devices. Bringing these aspects together in one location will enable fast, recursive improvements and accelerate new compute deployed. Terafab will produce chips optimized for edge computing and inference for use in hardware like Tesla’s Optimus robots and self-driving Cybercabs, along with high-power chips designed for operating SpaceX’s space-based data centers.

BRINGING BACK ADVANCED MANUFACTURING TO AMERICA
Advanced chips are becoming foundational infrastructure for the modern economy. AI systems, satellites, secure communications, and advanced manufacturing all depend on reliable access to compute hardware. Much of the world’s semiconductor production remains concentrated overseas, and the United States has recognized the importance of rebuilding advanced manufacturing capacity domestically. Terafab aligns with that broader national effort by expanding high-end manufacturing capacity in Texas.

Texas has become central to our operations through Starbase, Bastrop, and McGregor, thanks to its commitment to innovation, manufacturing, and American leadership. SpaceX’s growing Texas footprint alone has already generated more than 56,000 direct and indirect jobs, over $28 billion in estimated economic impact since 2024, and hundreds of millions in indirect tax revenue since 2024.

The initial phase of Terafab is estimated to require approximately $16.8 billion in capital investments from SpaceX and Tesla, with potential future expansion phases bringing total investment much higher. This facility will employ at least 3,000 people, many of whom will be from Grimes and nearby Brazos County — continuing the trend of our other Texas sites where between 60% and 80% of new hires are local residents.

Grimes County offers strategic advantages for long-term industrial investment, including infrastructure access, available land, and proximity to major Texas markets. This project represents a significant opportunity for skilled trades, construction employment, suppliers and contractors, and long-term technical workforce development. We intend to work with local schools and workforce partners to help create pathways for future employment opportunities, responding to the unique needs of each community.

SpaceX and Tesla also take our role as being good stewards of the environment seriously. The Terafab site is committing to the use of Gibbons Creek Reservoir water for industrial operations rather than local groundwater; planned on-site wastewater treatment facilities; water reuse and conservation efforts; compliance with all applicable environmental and pollution control laws; and management of hazardous materials, chemicals, and industrial byproducts in accordance with all applicable regulations—while striving to exceed them.

BUILDING AN EXCITING FUTURE
We believe continued progress and leadership in space, AI, and advanced manufacturing will depend on the ability to build critical technologies domestically. By building and operating the largest chip manufacturing facility on the planet, we’re continuing down a path where future humans can compete over building the largest facilities in the solar system, and eventually the galaxy.

If you want to be a part of building that exciting future, come join us."

The same Starmind V1 satellite design (minus solar & radiator) will be deployed on the ground in our data centers. It’s a major improvement in data center efficiency.

Worth noting that any USAID funding that appeared to have the slightest merit whatsoever for helping people in need was moved to the State Department.

Only the funding where they provided no evidence at all for who would receive the money was stopped.

Such a heartbreaking day. Pray for the families 🙏
