Intel gets trapped in Elon’s reality distortion field as it joins in megafab delusions

Intel has announced participation in Terafab, Elon Musk's initiative to achieve 50x semiconductor production capacity for orbital AI infrastructure. The project targets a vertically integrated fab facility in Austin capable of producing any chip type with integrated design-loop iteration. Industry observers remain skeptical given the $30B+ costs and 5+ year timelines typical for fab construction, compounded by Musk's lack of prior semiconductor manufacturing experience.
