"Terafab Project launches in 7 days," Elon Musk wrote in an X post [x.com].

Musk once mentioned that his companies might need 100 – 200 billion AI chips per year, and if it cannot get them from existing foundry partners, then the company will consider building its own fabs. Apparently, the Terafab Project seems to be the brand depicting the endeavor and scale, though it does not provide any reasonable portrayal of the nature of the project.

He added back then that if foundries could accelerate expansion and supply 100 billion to 200 billion AI chips per year within Tesla’s required timeframe, the company would gladly rely on external manufacturing instead of pursuing its own facilities.
