"Elon Musk's $25B Chip Factory Should Terrify TSMC Something colossal is unfolding in the Texas plains. On the grounds of a dead coal power plant, about an hour outside Houston, construction is starting on what Elon Musk calls "the largest and most valuable building on Earth by far." A 2 nm chip factory built from scratch by companies that have never manufactured a single chip. It's designed to produce 1 terawatt of AI compute per year, built on the most advanced transistor technology we have, gate-all-around. The entry ticket is $25 billion. The filings already point to $119 billion. And analysts at Bernstein put the full vision at something closer to $5 trillion. This move is either genius or a very expensive trap, because even the best chip makers on Earth, with decades of experience and hundreds of billions invested, still get it wrong. So why would they even try? And more importantly, what do they know that everyone else doesn't? Terafab. What an interesting fab at so many levels. Because the strange thing about it is that the deeper you go into it, the less crazy it starts to look. This can actually be the move that rebalances the global supply chain. And the strangest part of all: most of these chips aren't even meant for this planet. Subscribe to the channel, and let me explain.
