TSMC demands to run SpaceX's Terafab plant, risking deal amid Elon Musk's conflicting plans.

Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) is in talks with SpaceX about the Terafab chip plant but insists on operating the facility itself, conflicting with Elon Musk's plan for SpaceX to run it. TSMC's CEO C.C. Wei emphasized that the Texas plant must be managed by TSMC to protect profit margins and meet growing U.S. customer demand. SpaceX's chip needs are expanding rapidly, especially for AI applications. The deal's future hinges on resolving who will control the fab, with TSMC promising updates once a decision is made.

As of Oct 22, 2026 23:41 WIB, Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) trades at USD 412.63 with a 1-day decline of 4.46% on Pluang. SpaceX (SPCX) is priced at USD 148.97, down 6.47% in the same period. The typical hold time for TSM on Pluang is 111 days, reflecting a longer-term investor interest compared to SpaceX's 44 days.
