Elon Musk’s secret fab plan: new U.S. chip plant targets 2026 ramp
Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX and Tesla Inc., is making significant strides to develop a comprehensive semiconductor manufacturing supply chain in the US. Sources indicate that the fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) plant in Texas has reached the equipment delivery phase and aims to commence volume production by late third quarter 2026.
We are seeing the CEO of X, Tesla and SpaceX, among other companies, moving quietly towards a goal that until two years ago would have seemed impossible, really crazy, unheard of. And it is that Elon Musk is building a complete chain of manufacturing and chip packaging in the United States, and that includes from PCB to FOPLP and a future wafer factory capable of sustaining demand for Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink. In practice, it is building a TSM…

Elon Musk looks to space for Tesla's next AI chip
Tesla is extending its in-house chip roadmap beyond vehicles and humanoid robots, with CEO Elon Musk signaling that the company's forthcoming AI8 processor could power orbiting data centers for SpaceX, even as its promised Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities remain incomplete.
Just a week ago, Elon Musk stated that Tesla would likely have to build its own semiconductor factory (TeraFab). Despite expert warnings about the massive difficulties of such a venture, it appears the billionaire has already begun implementing it. Created by Grok According to sources, construction of the first site in Texas is already underway: equipment is being delivered to the site, indicating that preparatory work...
