Intel joins Elon Musk's Terafab project as foundry partner —$25B AI chip manufacturing initiative bringing together SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI. Vertical integration strategy aims to reduce dependency on NVIDIA and TSMC.

Tesla recruits chip engineers at $330K salaries for its Terafab project, targeting computing power 50x current global AI capacity —an ambition even TSMC hasn't achieved.
