Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI are launching
the most epic chip-building effort ever
— combining logic, memory and
advanced packaging under one roof.
Terafab will close the gap between today's chip production and the future's demand —
a future among the stars.
The Kardashev Scale
We aspire to be a galactic civilization
- Type IHarness all the energy on a planet
- Type IIHarness all the energy from a star
- Type IIIHarness all the energy in a galaxy
Harnessing the power of the Sun
- Maximize utilization of the Sun's energy
- Produce AI chips at scale
- Unlock interplanetary travel
We're builders.
We've done the impossible before.
