Elon Musk not too long ago outlined bold plans for a chip-building collaboration between his firms Tesla and SpaceX.

Bloomberg reports that Musk shared his plans on Saturday night time at an occasion in downtown Austin, Texas, with a photograph suggesting that what Musk is asking the “Terafab” facility might be constructed close to Tesla’s Austin headquarters and “gigafactory.”

Musk stated he’s pursuing this mission as a result of semiconductor producers aren’t making chips shortly sufficient for his firms’ synthetic intelligence and robotics wants: “We both construct the Terafab or we don’t have the chips, and we’d like the chips, so we construct the Terafab.”

The aim is to fabricate chips that may assist 100 to 200 gigawatts of computing energy per 12 months on Earth, together with a terawatt in space, Musk stated. He didn’t supply a timeline for these plans.

As Bloomberg famous, Musk doesn’t have a background in semiconductor manufacturing, however he does have a historical past of overpromising on goals and timelines.
