 A Message From Paradigm Press Dear reader, For the last few months, my team and I have been tracking some incredible activity across Elon Musk's most secure facilities. And we have obtained shocking new drone footagethat has finally shed some light on what is going on: 
Only a short time ago, this site was covered in thousands of trees. In a matter of weeks, at a pace almost no other company on Earth could match, all of it was cleared to make room for a single, groundbreaking new factory. It is already under construction. What happens inside is something Elon is quietly calling his "infinite money glitch." It sounds crazy to say out loud. But if Elon succeeds, this factory could set off a snowball of wealth unlike anything the world has ever recorded. And once that snowball begins to roll, it will be almost impossible to stop. Based on my research, it could go live as soon as January 27. I believe what is happening inside this factory is the most important story I have ever covered. I put everything into a short presentation: what the "infinite money glitch" is, how much newly created wealth could be up for grabs, and how to take advantage of this opportunity before the deadline. Watch it now. Because after January 27, the whole world could catch on to what’s inside. Regards, James Altucher P.S. I’m giving away a free report to anyone who watches this presentation today. It details Elon’s Musk’s unprecedented trillion-dollar compensation package and identifies the companies he NEEDS to hit his incentives. Just click here to watch the free video, and I’ll show you how to claim it. No credit card needed.

Tesla Wants to Make Its Own Chips—What Could Go Wrong?Authored by Sam Quirke. Article Posted: 10/14/2026. 
Key Points
- Tesla plans to build and operate its own Terafab chip manufacturing complex rather than rely on established chipmakers like TSMC.
- Building an advanced semiconductor fab requires expertise Tesla lacks today and could take years to ramp up, adding to an already heavy capital-spending bill.
- With Tesla's stock trading at a price-to-earnings ratio above 300, investors will scrutinize the Oct. 21 earnings report for signs Terafab is a disciplined, well-funded bet.
- Special Report: This small AI fund pays investors every single Thursday
Elon Musk has never been one to think small, and his latest ambition might be one of his boldest yet. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), the electric-vehicle giant increasingly being pitched as an AI and robotics company, is no longer content to design its own chips. It now wants to build and operate the factory that makes them. The stock has been on a tear lately, up around 25% since the end of July to trade near $375, though it remains down about 19% in 2026 and, on the charts at least, is still stuck in a downtrend. Investors clearly like the recent direction, even if the longer-term picture looks far less settled.
Musk first unveiled plans for Terafab, a massive AI chip manufacturing complex, in March. Earlier this month, he doubled down on the project, insisting that Tesla and SpaceX would build and operate the facility themselves rather than hand control to an established chipmaker such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE: TSM). With earnings due Oct. 21, the question is whether this represents visionary vertical integration or an expensive distraction. The Logic Behind Owning the FabStrip away the bravado, and there is real strategic logic here. By controlling chip design, fabrication and packaging in-house, Tesla could tailor its silicon to its own needs, from Full Self-Driving (FSD) to its Cybertruck-based robotaxis and Optimus robots. The prize is not merely cheaper chips, but silicon optimized for Tesla’s software, power limits and autonomous-driving workloads. It fits the bigger story the bulls have been telling for some time: that Tesla is evolving from a carmaker into an AI-first business, with autonomy and robotics becoming its real profit engines. Owning more of the chip supply chain would give Tesla greater control over that transition and reduce its dependence on outside suppliers. A Very Different Kind of FactoryHere is the rub, however. Building cars, batteries and robots is one thing; running an advanced semiconductor fab is entirely different. It requires expertise in process control, yield management and clean-room manufacturing that Tesla does not have today. Musk’s cheerful admission that he does not yet know how to make microchips is not a detail investors should wave away. Then there is the timeline. A fab must be built, equipped, qualified and painstakingly ramped before it can reliably produce anything—a process more likely to be measured in years than quarters. Any delay would leave Tesla funding an enormous facility while still relying on the suppliers it set out to replace: the worst of both worlds. Musk has floated roles for partners to share the load, with Intel Corp. (NASDAQ: INTC) named as a development partner and TSMC potentially subleasing part of the site. All of this comes on top of an already steep capital-spending bill. Tesla now expects to spend more than $25 billion this year, its largest amount ever, while management has already conceded that it may need additional funding to see its plans through. Add a chip-making factory, and that already heavy bill climbs even higher. Priced for a Lot to Go RightThe bigger worry is what all this means for a stock that already prices in near-flawless execution. Even with the stock trending down since the start of the year, Tesla trades at a price-to-earnings ratio north of 300. That tells you just how much value the market is assigning to businesses that currently contribute little to profit. That leaves precious little room for disappointment, and Wall Street itself is split on whether the current price is a bargain or a stretch. A delayed or underused chip plant would not just be a costly misstep in isolation; it could be interpreted as proof that Tesla’s broader AI and robotics timetable is slipping. For a stock priced on promises, perception matters almost as much as the numbers. What That Means for Next Week’s ReportThat is what makes the upcoming earnings report so important. Beyond the usual focus on deliveries and margins, investors will be looking for signs that Terafab is a disciplined bet rather than an open-ended one. They will want clarity on how much capital it will consume, which partners are truly committed and whether robotaxi and FSD economics are improving with or without a fab attached. For all the obvious risks, betting against Musk’s ambition has rarely paid off for long, given how many of his biggest long shots eventually came good. But chipmaking is among the hardest games in technology, and with the stock already priced as if future success is guaranteed, Tesla has seldom needed to reassure investors more than it does in its upcoming release. . |
