SpaceX financing and TerraFab uncertainty drive Musk’s market discussion
Bloomberg Daybreak reported that SpaceX is seeking $40 billion from banks and investors to buy NVIDIA chips for an artificial-intelligence build-out, with Apollo Global Management leading the financing.[1]
Stock Movers focused on Intel’s continued role in TerraFab, while another segment reported Musk confirming discussions with TSMC about possible collaboration, unsettling Intel shares.[2][3]
Stock Movers also said Intel’s CEO had reassured investors that the company would continue working with Musk on TerraFab despite concerns it could be sidelined.[2]
Prof G Markets discussed Musk mainly through SpaceX’s asteroid-mining idea and Grok’s science-fiction name, with Steve Eisman and Ed Elson treating those points as amusing examples of his interests.[4]
Other shows connected Musk to broader investing themes: a talent-magnet argument, a hypothetical need to liquidate wealth, an anti-Musk documentary, and reported political use of Grok.[5][6][7]

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.
