SpaceX has submitted plans to build Terafab.

It is smart strategically and financially risky - very on-brand for Musk. Given how hard it is to build, let alone scale a fab without considering existing competition(TSMC) which is light years ahead I’m curious to know what HN thinks of this move?

SpaceX is already targeting a trillion dollar IPO and as an investor if you believe in this long term vision a trillion dollars might not seem too unreasonable.
