The engineering to rapidly grow power infrastructure in the USA is trivial. The permitting is a nightmare. The fact that companies are leaving Earth to get additional power sends a message that most are ignoring.

This is the reason federalism is so important. Individual states can become tyrannical but America still has an escape hatch that ensures the future of the whole country. If federalism fails, America does too.
We must protect Texas and Florida with all our being.

Everyone is covering Terafab as a chip factory.
It is not a chip factory.
Last night in Austin, Elon unveiled a facility that makes masks, fabricates chips, and tests them inside a single building with a nine-month recursive improvement cadence. No such loop exists anywhere

What is the Present Value of TERAFAB?
TSMC and Samsung make about $2 billion in revenue per GW of AI chips they produce. Nvidia makes about $10 billion and AMD makes about $6 billion per GW of AI chips/systems they sell.
Let's assume that Tesla's TERAFAB economics are similar

There's no such things as the ai singularity. Specifically you cannot define the point of singularity.
Was it the transformers paper or was it when the humans first made fire that truly kicks it off?
And no point in the curve can we tell we are at the inflection point because

I thought this would be helpful for illustration purposes. The basic footprint of the just announced Tesla/SpaceX/XAI Terafab at Giga Texas looks to be about 2 million Sq Ft, but not sure the number of floors or total Sq Ft available for production.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Mar 22, 2026
No, that’s just the little advanced technology fab, where we will be iterating on chip designs.
We couldn’t possibly fit the Terafab on the GigaTexas campus. It will be far bigger than everything else combined there.
Several locations for Terafab are under consideration. It needs thousands of acres and over 10GW of power at full scale.

Ok. So essentially Terafab is not a plan for a 'standard' semiconductor fab, but includes mask production, test house and packaging under one roof. This alone is a very alien concept. If they only achieve this alone, not even considering reaching the crazy output numbers, they're

@elonmusk · Mar 22, 2026
Given that several companies make advanced chips, but no companies have ever made fully reusable rockets or achieved SpaceX scale, I think Starship is harder, but we shall see.
Terafab will technically be two fabs, each making only one chip design. This greatly simplifies process flow and allows more linear, adjacent movement of the FOUP.
A super high production rate allows us to test very quickly what steps can be deleted, simplified or sped up, even after the design is fixed. Current fabs are extremely conservative, operating on rigid historical heuristics, which are mostly, but not all, correct.
Anything that is a rate limiter at the machine level means that machine will be redesigned, unless already at limit of physics.
Having new iterations of a chip design be produced every day in the research fab (with <7 day lag) means being able to try out many high risk, high return ideas.
Etc
In any event, there is no other way to reach extreme scale, so either we make Terafab or we will be stuck at the ~20% chip/memory output growth per year of the current industry.

4 years ago, we started production with delivering the first 30 cars to our customers! Since then, it has been a unique success story:
- produced and delivered more than 700.000 Model Y 💪🏼
- created nearly 11.000 jobs 👷♂️👩🔧
So much more to come!
