The trip is set to take place from May 13 to May 15, marking a significant moment as Trump aims to strengthen economic ties with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

In a significant move for its artificial intelligence ambitions, Tesla has announced plans to produce its next-generation AI chips on American soil. As first reported by Wccftech, the tech giant is splitting the production of two chips, AI6 and AI6.5, between Samsung and TSMC facilities in Texas and Arizona, respectively. This decision reflects not only a shift in Tesla’s production strategy but also a commitment to bolstering domestic semiconductor capabilities.
Elon Musk has unveiled TeraFab, a visionary project that promises to redefine the landscape of computing. With this ambitious initiative, Musk aims to address the staggering compute demand that, at present, is met by only 2% of Earth’s resources. The TeraFab project is central to Musk’s vision for a “Galactic Civilization,” as he attempts to scale up computing capabilities in a way that dwarfs existing chip fabrication facilities worldwide.
