Musk denies TSMC will build or run Terafab, says Tesla and SpaceX will own it
Responding on X to a post saying Terafab would most likely be owned and operated by TSMC, Musk wrote on October 7: "No, we will build and run the fab. Let there be ZERO doubt about that." He added that TSMC might sublease part of the Terafab site "if they want, but nothing more than that." Terafab is the giant AI chip manufacturing complex Tesla and SpaceX plan to build in Texas, and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said the same day that Intel remains part of the project.
Why it matters: If Tesla and SpaceX insist on building and running the fab themselves, they must develop leading-edge manufacturing capability without relying on TSMC to operate it.

美國電動車廠特斯拉與美國太空探索科技公司(SpaceX)執行長馬斯克今天表示,兩公司合作的人工智慧(AI)晶片廠 Terafab 不會由台積電建造或營運,但台積電可承租部分廠區。
路透社報導,Terafab是特斯拉(Tesla)和SpaceX規劃在美國德州打造的1座「龐大晶片製造廠」,用以生產AI晶片。
馬斯克(Elon Musk)上週表示,他們曾與台積電討論這項計畫合作的可能性,但他未透露進一步細節。
然而,馬斯克今天針對旗下社群媒體平台X有1則貼文表示,Terafab最可能結果是由台積電持有及營運,他回文說:「不,將由我們建造及營運這座晶片廠,這點毋庸置疑。」
馬斯克並補充表示:「台積電或許會承租Terafab部分廠區,如果他們有意願的話,但僅止於此。」
@herbertong @thejefflutz No, we will build and run the fab. Let there be ZERO doubt about that.
Maybe TSMC subleases part of the Terafab if they want, but nothing more than that.

Terafab夥伴之一、美國晶片製造業巨擘英特爾(Intel)的執行長陳立武今天稍早接受彭博(Bloomberg News)訪問時說,英特爾仍將會是計畫的一分子。
台積電若在Terafab有任何參與,都可能對英特爾在計畫中扮演的角色構成挑戰。兩公司皆未立即回覆路透社的置評請求。
