[Musk rules out the possibility of TSMC participating in the operation of Terafab] On October 7, Musk stated that his companies will independently build and operate Terafab, ruling out the possibility of TSMC, the leader in the chip manufacturing industry, taking over the operation of this chip manufacturing project. The Terafab project, located in Texas, is Musk's plan to enter the chip manufacturing business and is designed to meet the needs of his companies Tesla and SpaceXAI. Musk has recently said that he is negotiating with TSMC, but the billionaire billionaire posted a message on the X platform on Wednesday to clarify that the only thing the two parties are currently considering is that TSMC may rent part of the planned factory, and it does not involve any operational role. "If TSMC wants to, it may be able to sublease part of Terafab, but that's it," Musk said in response to a video on his social platform.
