SpaceX/xAI is investing in creating their own fab. If they can, Apple certainly can.

We don’t know if SpaceX’s plan will actually work, they announced it this year and it is a long-timeline Musk project. These have… mixed results.

You've got to wonder why. It makes no sense for xAI to make their own chips.

The "integration" of SpaceX/xAI is just standard Musk-move-losses-to-the-company-making-money-at-the-moment bullshit.

Apple actually have the runs on the board, xAI has Musk-BS.

that's crazy. Looks like Intel is part of this https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/intel-...

They can’t.

Operating a FAB requires employing PhDs that are willing to work 8 hours shifts with no breaks (each removal of a bunnysuit is an expensive exercise), and there’s no reason to believe SpaceX is capable of hiring such people.
