Tesla and SpaceX are starting work on the biggest building in the world in December in huge 100 million square feet, $16.8 billion 'Terafab' project
Tesla and SpaceX have started erecting structural steel for the Terafab, an advanced technology chip fabrication facility in Texas. The project aims to create the largest building on Earth, spanning 100 million square feet. Joint investment for the site is cited at $16.8 billion, with construction activity currently including seven cranes on site. The facility is intended to support chip production for Elon Musk's companies, potentially integrating multiple layers of artificial intelligence hardware and software production.
