What is Elon Musk's Terafab project?

Terafab's Musk's plan for a massive 1-terawatt chip fab network, jointly from Tesla/SpaceX, to make custom silicon for AI, robots, cars—independent of Big Foundry.

Is Intel building Terafab fabs?

Nope, not clear—vague "work closely" on packaging/design help. No full fab commitment, likely testing waters without TSMC drama.

Will Terafab replace TSMC for Tesla?

Doubtful soon. Tesla's tied to TSMC/Samsung; Terafab's a moonshot, years off if ever.
