A Motley Fool analysis says Starship recovery, a possible Tesla merger and the planned Terrafab chip plant could help double SpaceX shares. It links the idea to Elon Musk’s stated $1 trillion revenue target for 2030.
SpaceX has caught Starship’s Super Heavy booster and aims to recover the upper stage intact next year, though it must survive extreme heat and hypersonic orbital reentry. The company has also announced plans to phase out Falcon 9 in the coming years. The article cites Tesla’s Cybercab and Optimus as part of the merger case; prediction market Kalshi lists a 70% chance of a SpaceX-Tesla merger before 2028.
Terrafab is a planned chip complex backed by SpaceX, Tesla and Intel, expected to begin this year and be completed by the end of 2028. Its initial phase is projected to cost about $55 billion, with total costs of up to $119 billion; Musk has said SpaceX will fund the first phase. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang questioned the feasibility of replicating TSMC’s manufacturing capabilities, though he said Musk might be able to do it. The completed fab could span 100 million square feet and produce 1 terawatt of computing power per year.
