Elon Musk Just Dropped A SpaceX Chip Factory Bombshell — And Estimated $500B From Space Data Centers

Elon Musk just gave the first real timeline for Terafab, the SpaceX and Tesla chip factory in Grimes County, Texas. He's targeting a first test chip in mid-2027 and volume production by Q3 2028, and he says SpaceX has "significant potential breakthroughs in chip fabrication." Behind the chips is a much bigger plan: a build-out of AI computing that could cost up to $500 billion, and Starmind, SpaceX's plan to put AI data centers in orbit on as many as one million satellites. In this video, we break down SpaceX's record Q3 2026 results ($14.58B revenue, $4.4B profit, $7.6B from AI), the $55B–$119B Terafab project, the Anthropic and Google compute deals, Starship's first orbital flight, the post-midterm stock crash, the Texas data center moratorium threat, the SpaceX–Tesla merger talks, and three realistic scenarios for what comes next.
