Summary
Elon Musk will join ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet for a virtual discussion at ASML’s conference next week, speaking to employees and partners about AI, robotics, space and chip manufacturing.
ASML sits at the center of that pitch because its EUV lithography machines are critical to advanced chip production, and Fouquet has already warned SpaceX’s ambitions could strain semiconductor supply.
Musk tied the appearance to Terafab, a chip-making concept he says could require as much as $119 billion to support fast-moving AI, robotics and space programs.
The push also feeds into SpaceX’s broader growth story ahead of a potential public debut at a reported $1.75 trillion valuation, with plans for up to 1 million orbital data centers relying on heavy in-house chip output.
