Elon Musk's Terafab chip plant could cost $1 trillion, with phased spending and unclear funding sources.

At the Baron Investment Conference, billionaire Ron Baron estimated Elon Musk's Terafab chip venture could cost $1 trillion over time, a figure Musk did not dispute. Terafab aims to produce a terawatt of AI chips annually, vastly exceeding current global output. The first phase is officially estimated at $16.8 billion in Texas, but subsequent phases lack clear funding sources, raising questions about which shareholders will bear the costs. Tesla and SpaceX face significant capital expenditures, and the project's success and financing remain uncertain.

As of Nov 08, 2026 00:02 WIB, Tesla (TSLA) shares are trading at USD 358.22, up 4.23% on the day, with a market cap of $1.42 trillion on Pluang. SpaceX (SPCX) is also gaining, priced at USD 134.27 with an 8.62% increase and a market cap of $1.82 trillion. The ambitious Terafab chip plant project, potentially costing $1 trillion, contrasts with Tesla's current enterprise value of $1.39 trillion, highlighting the scale of Musk's vision.
