TERAFAB Project

a March 21, 2026 Presentation
Combining TESLA + XI + SPACE X
“Science Fiction to Science Fact”
“Be a Civilization that expands…” (part of Longtermism)
This video features Elon Musk outlining a massive project to create a terawatt-scale AI computing cluster. He describes this as a joint effort between Tesla, XAI, and SpaceX to turn science fiction into fact by expanding civilization beyond Earth.
See the video below and some charts from

VIDEO OUTLINE:

• Becoming Multiplanetary: Musk emphasizes using a Kardashev Type II civilization model, focusing on harnessing the sun’s energy in space rather than being confined to Earth (1:26-3:08).
• The Terrafab Project: To achieve this, Tesla is building a massive, advanced technology fab in Austin, Texas, designed to manufacture both logic and memory chips recursively for faster iteration (10:56-11:45).
• Space-Based AI: Musk believes deploying AI in space will eventually be cheaper and more efficient than on Earth, due to constant solar power and reduced need for heavy shielding (14:38-16:22).
• Future Vision: The ultimate goal is to establish a pedawatt scale of compute using an electromagnetic mass driver on the Moon and expanding to Mars and beyond to ensure future abundance (17:07-20:51).
