Musk Forecasts TeraFab Compute: 25% for Optimus, 75% for Space AI
XFreeze · x · 2026-08-07
Elon Musk estimated that the future 1 TW AI compute output from TeraFab will be split: roughly 25% (250 GW) for Tesla Optimus and 75% (750 GW) for AI spacecraft.
A user broke down the implications: assuming Optimus uses a 250W AI5 system, 250 GW could theoretically support annual production of 1 billion robots. For space, 750 GW equates to millions of current SpaceX AI1 payloads, or 750,000 megawatt-class spacecraft if compute scales up.
