The conversation on X

X focuses on Terafab uncertainty, Intel pressure and broader views of Musk

Most X posts repeat news that Musk confirmed preliminary TSMC discussions about Terafab, while noting that no agreement has been announced. The opinion posts split between urging Musk to use TSMC, warning that the project may be overhyped, and arguing that TSMC’s involvement could harm Intel.

A separate group praises Musk as a builder of future technologies, citing space, renewable-energy and other ventures. Another post defends his reputation against documentary allegations, while other posts express personal, unrelated or hostile views.

X largely matches the podcast story on the TSMC–Terafab development and possible Intel competition. It adds stronger skepticism about whether Terafab is proven, a direct argument for relying on TSMC, and broader praise or criticism of Musk beyond the semiconductor story.
