SpaceX will power Texas chip fab with natural‑gas plants, not Tesla solar
SpaceX will build natural‑gas power plants and large battery arrays to supply electricity to its Terafab semiconductor factory in Grimes County, Texas, rather than using Tesla solar. The move locks in $2.8 billion of gas turbine purchases and signals Musk’s broader shift toward fossil‑fuel power for AI data‑center chips, despite environmental criticism.
