Elon Musk's Terafab project is reportedly in discussions with TSMC for a potential manufacturing partnership, adding to the previously announced collaboration with Intel for advanced 14A process technology. This move suggests Musk is seeking to secure massive chip production capacity for his ventures, including Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, potentially hedging against reliance on any single supplier. The collaboration could involve TSMC operating factories, providing technology, or offering technical expertise, while Intel might continue to supply advanced processes for the front-end manufacturing.
