埃隆·马斯克（Debby Wu 报道）表示，他的商业帝国将独立建设和运营 Terafab，从而粉碎了关于行业龙头台积电（TSMC）将介入运营其雄心勃勃的芯片制造项目的猜测。
Musk said his business empire will build and operate Terafab independently, quashing speculation about industry leader Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. swooping in to run his ambitious chipmaking venture.
Terafab 项目总部位于德克萨斯州，是马斯克为特斯拉和 SpaceXAI 等公司进军芯片制造业务所做的一项努力。尽管马斯克最近曾表示他正在与台积电进行讨论，但这位亿万富翁周三在 X 平台上澄清，唯一正在考虑的事项是台积电可能租赁部分计划中的厂址，并不涉及任何运营角色。
Based in Texas, the Terafab project is Musk’s effort to break into the business of fabricating chips, in service of his companies Tesla Inc. and SpaceXAI. While Musk had recently said he’s in discussions with TSMC, the trillionaire clarified in an X post on Wednesday that the only matter under consideration is for TSMC potentially leasing some part of the planned site and wouldn’t involve any operational role.
马斯克在回应其社交网络上发布的一段视频时表示：“如果台积电愿意，也许可以转租 Terafab 的一部分，但仅此而已。”台积电未立即回复寻求置评的电子邮件。
“Maybe TSMC subleases part of the Terafab if they want, but nothing more than that,” Musk said in a response to a video posted on his social network. TSMC did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
美国芯片制造商英特尔公司正在协助马斯克旗下的公司开发将应用于 Terafab 的技术。该设施预计将为马斯克的商业帝国提供先进的半导体，满足特斯拉的汽车制造和机器人业务，以及包括航天技术和开发 Grok 的 xAI 集团在内的合并后的 SpaceXAI 的需求。周三，他强调他的公司将“自己建设并运营这家晶圆厂”。
US chipmaker Intel Corp. is helping Musk’s companies with developing the technology that’ll go inside the Terafab. The facility is expected to supply advanced semiconductors for the needs of Musk’s empire, across the Tesla carmaking and robotics business and the consolidated SpaceXAI that includes both spacefaring technology and the xAI group developing Grok. On Wednesday, he stressed that his companies would “build and run the fab.”
据彭博社上周报道，台积电方面正在权衡在德克萨斯州建立一个庞大的新芯片制造园区。这家以英伟达和苹果等美国巨头为主要客户的公司正在该国建立其设施。如果该公司决定在德克萨斯州继续扩张，将为该州不断增长的芯片制造专业知识和产能添砖加瓦，因为该州除了 Terafab 项目外，还有三星电子公司在那里开发的一座工厂。
TSMC, for its part, is weighing an expansive new chipmaking campus in Texas, Bloomberg News reported last week. The company, whose key customers include US giants Nvidia Corp. and Apple Inc., is building up its facilities in the country. If it decides to proceed with expansion in Texas, that would add to the state’s growing base of chipmaking expertise and capacity, as it has Samsung Electronics Co. developing a plant there as well as the Terafab project.
