Shifting back to Terafab, Musk also boasted that once fully scaled and operational, the sheer commercial value of Terafab's advanced chip output will place it within the top 20 global country GDPs from a single physical building.
Key facts
Aside from Terafab, Musk also outlined near-term ambitions for his AI companies during the broadcast, saying he expects them to have 2.5 to 3 gigawatts (GW) of computing capacity active by the end
For context, research firm Gartner estimates the total global AI-optimized data center capacity is roughly 44 GW as of late 2026, 4.4% of Terafab's planned output

For context, the 20th country on the list is Switzerland, with a GDP of around $1.14 trillion
Summary
Elon Musk says ASML and other critical semiconductor equipment suppliers have expedited shipments for the ambitious Terafab semiconductor manufacturing facility, supporting his aggressive timeline for the joint megaproject between Tesla and SpaceX. Analyzing TSMC's fab expansion roadmap, multi-fab N2 ramp, CoWoS, SoIC, and uncorking bottlenecks. Leading-edge foundry roadmaps for TSMC, Intel, and Samsung. "These are aggressive dates, and we're appreciative of ASML and all of our other suppliers in accelerating equipment deliveries to achieve this outcome," said Musk, CEO of both companies behind Terafab.
