Announcing TERAFAB: the next step towards becoming a galactic civilization
Musk:
SpaceXAI + Tesla TERAFAB Project Goal is a trillion watts of compute/year Most must necessarily go to space, as US electricity is only 0.5TW

​​​​​​​ELON MUSK: “To reach a petawatt, we’d build an electromagnetic mass driver on the Moon with robots like Optimus and humans. With no atmosphere and 1/6 gravity, payloads can reach escape velocity without rockets, drastically cutting costs. That could scale compute 1000× beyond a terawatt—I hope we live to see it.”
​​​​​​​This would roughly be the scale of the Tesla/SpaceX TERAFAB compared to Tesla’s Giga Texas factory, which is already one of the largest buildings in the world. We are talking about an unprecedented amount of scale.

Musk: “Yeah, 100M sq ft is the right order of magnitude”
