SpaceX has announced two mega-projects representing at least $116.8 billion in combined investment, all within less than three weeks: • Terafab in Texas, the world’s largest chip manufacturing facility. • Starbase, Louisiana, the world’s largest spaceport. Together, they are expected to create more than 14,000 direct and indirect jobs....

Many still don’t understand why Elon is building Terafab Terafab is an extension to all the chip makers in the world It’s not about replacement, not a rivalry and absolutely not competing It’s being built to fulfill the massive chip orders that Tesla, SpaceX and xAI actually need TSMC’s most advanced 2nm capacity is totally booked through 2028 Tesla signed a massive $16.5 billion deal with Samsung back in July 2025 to produce AI6 chips at their Taylor, Texas factory and Samsung is building a Tesla Exclusive chip manufacturing plant to full fill this orders When Elon announced Terafab on March 21, 2026...he made it clear: “That rate is much less than we’d like. We either build the Terafab or we don’t have the chips, and we need the chips, so we build the Terafab” He basically told the chip makers: “Produce as much as you comfortably can. We will take them all. Actually we want even more” Even today Elon said: "SpaceX/Tesla will be always be major customers of TSMC and not competitors in the normal sense of the word" Current production rates are much less than they need....That’s why Terafab exists Terafab is an extension to every chip maker… not competition, not rivalry, absolutely not Even Intel has joined as a partner Even if chip supply improves, massive bottlenecks still exist with memory and advanced packaging You simply can't risk those supply chain breaks at this scale That’s why Terafab is being built to vertically integrate everything - chips, memory, advanced packaging all under one roof, targeting 1 terawatt of AI compute capacity per year This is a ludicrous amount of chips that no chipmaker currently produces at this scale. I don't think even TSMC and Samsung truly understand these numbers yet It’s about building the capacity the future actually demands

GOOD NEWS 🚨 SpaceX has officially announced plans for a monumental new spaceport called Starbase Louisiana, and it looks like it is going to be one hell of a launch site 🚀 Representing a staggering investment of over $100 billion, this massive facility will span roughly 125,000 acres of coastal marshland in Vermilion Parish near Pecan Island, about 50 miles south of Lafayette. This project is fundamentally designed from day one to be the largest spaceport on Earth. At full buildout, the campus is expected to feature five launch complexes with two pads each, eventually hosting more than a dozen launch towers. Elon Musk confirmed that the facility is built to handle an unprecedented launch cadence of more than 30 Starship flights per day, meaning it could eventually support thousands of spaceflights a year. To realistically sustain that kind of rapid-fire launch schedule, Starbase Louisiana will operate as a fully self-sustaining mega-hub. The site will feature its own on-site propellant production and storage farms, dedicated power generation, deep-water shipping capabilities, vehicle processing facilities, and a private airport. SpaceX is even planning to construct residential housing directly on the sprawling campus for employees and their families. Construction on the new site is slated to begin in 2027, with the highly ambitious goal of launching the first Starship from the Louisiana Gulf Coast as early as 2029. The economic impact will be massive, initially creating over 3,000 direct, permanent jobs with an average annual salary of around $92,600. When factoring in indirect employment, the total number of jobs created is expected to easily push past the 10,000 mark. Beyond the aerospace infrastructure, SpaceX is making major commitments to environmental conservation in an area where the local shoreline currently erodes between 3.3 and 23 feet per year. The company is actively partnering with state and federal agencies to build wave-reducing breakwaters, rebuild thousands of acres of marshland using dredged sediment, and rigorously preserve the high-value coastal habitat for migratory birds and local wildlife. For space enthusiasts, the best part might just be the access. Instead of a locked-down industrial zone, Elon Musk explicitly promised that Starbase Louisiana will be designed with a visitor experience in mind, allowing the public to come out and watch these massive Starships fly, much like the legendary setup at Cape Canaveral.
