Elon Musk reportedly confirmed discussions between Terafab and TSMC, putting the chipmaking venture backed by SpaceX and Tesla in talks with one of the world’s major foundries. A foundry manufactures chips for other companies.
Musk reportedly confirms Terafab–TSMC talks
The reported development is discussions between Terafab and TSMC. It puts the Taiwanese foundry in conversation with a venture linked to Musk’s companies, while leaving the talks at the discussion stage.
What the Texas reference means
Texas enters the story through earlier reports that TSMC was considering operating new chip factories in the state. That is separate context for the Terafab talks, not a stated location for a Terafab facility.
SpaceX and Tesla back Terafab
Terafab is a chipmaking venture reportedly backed by SpaceX and Tesla. That backing identifies the companies behind the venture; it does not assign either one a role in the discussions with TSMC.
