Advanced Technology Chip Fab (ATFC) update from this week’s flight. A large section of the ground slab is being poured today over the yellow moisture barrier. Rebar is in place for more pours, the new tall crane is assembled and working the slab, and the last reinforced footings on... show more

Vertical integration is key, Elon realized chips will soon be in short supply if they don't act, and fast
Elon Musk doesn’t fuck around. We can giggle at the timelines all we want, But while everyone else is talking, These companies just keep building. Go. Go. GO! I love that. Thanks, Elon— For the Rockets, the ridiculously fun cars, the wild ideas, the purchase of X, and for helping a man tell his wife he loves her —through Neuralink. Whatever anyone thinks of you, no one can say you’re standing still or that you are unloved. I’m sixty-one. Strange thing having your first real hero turn out to be younger than you. Rock on, clear skies, and can’t wait to see footage of you from your Airstream trailer on the Moon.
Amazing progress! 👏
What stands out is the larger implication: a U.S.-based, vertically integrated prototype that can design, make, package, and test chips in one place is a practical step toward reducing the world’s extreme concentration of leading-edge semiconductor capacity in Taiwan. That concentration has become a single point of failure with enormous geopolitical weight. Building more resilient domestic capacity like this ATCF (and the planned Terafab) doesn’t replace existing supply overnight, but it does lower the stakes of disruption and offers a more stable, less confrontational path for meeting future compute demand for vehicles, robots, and orbital systems. That’s a meaningful contribution to supply-chain peace.
Great footage. Helps the mind to enable a better understanding of the project in hand. Thankyou for sharing.
Makes me wonder if Tesla/SpaceX will put chip fabrication in orbit or in space In orbit around Sol, following behind Earth’s orbit: planet clears a path through any debris Vibration and physical size issues solved; send down packages in giant automated containers in the vein of a Dragon Capsule
Wondering if this is just an interior section of the eventual completed facility.
The move from foundation work to a full chip fab is huge. That dedicated test-and-iterate loop should matter for every future vehicle program.
This is some serious concrete business. Look at the size of that concrete wall.
@elonmusk is really a lot of jobs all around the world 🫡
Wonderful footage!
Thx, hard to keep track of all the different buildings
The pace is 🔥
The 490,000 sq ft footprint is the key detail—ATFC is clearly being built at production scale, not as a small pilot lab.
