Musk says Tesla and SpaceX will build and run Terafab, with TSMC limited to a possible sublease

In posts on October 7, Elon Musk said his companies would build and operate the Terafab chip complex in Texas on their own, ruling out an operating role for TSMC. He said TSMC might sublease part of the site and nothing more. The statement narrows the earlier talks, and TSMC did not immediately comment on the report, which was carried by Bloomberg and reprinted by Taipei Times.
