TSMC is evaluating whether Musk’s Terafab could anchor a future Texas chip plant.
The company has teams looking at a Texas project while its Arizona expansion continues. Tim Culpan says a Texas move would need enough scale for manufacturing efficiency and major anchor customers, unlike the Arizona buildout. Related reports describe the idea as a multibillion-dollar Texas site or multi-fab campus, with Singapore also in talks. Techmeme's note
