Musk says Tesla needs a TeraFab for AI chip production. But making a wafer takes 100+ chemicals. 60% of them aren't produced domestically at scale. Tungsten hexafluoride. Hydrogen fluoride. High-purity acids. To properly reshore semiconductor production you also need to secure
Elon Musk@elonmusk· 19 nov. 2025@Benioff Starship should be able to deliver around 300 GW per year of solar-powered AI satellites to orbit, maybe 500 GW. The “per year” part is what makes this such a big deal.
Average US electricity consumption is around 500 GW, so at 300 GW/year, AI in space would exceed the entire US
