Tesla CEO Elon Musk said a new Samsung plant in Texas will be devoted to making the next generation of semiconductors for the electric vehicle (EV) company as it pushes the needle<\/a> on artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n

In a Sunday post on X<\/a>, the social media platform he purchased in 2022, Musk said Samsung’s new factory will be “dedicated” to making Tesla’s AI6 chip. Musk said he will also be a presence at the factory to “assist” Samsung “in maximizing manufacturing efficiency.”<\/p>\n

“This is a critical point, as I will walk the line personally to accelerate the pace of progress. And the fab is conveniently located not far from my house,” Musk wrote.<\/p>\n

The Hill has reached out to Samsung for comment. The value of the contract is $16.5 billion, according to CNBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tesla’s deal with Samsung could be a major lift for the embattled EV company as it attempts to overcome a serious dip in sales, spurred largely by Musk’s brief alliance with President Trump.<\/p>\n

Tesla’s global sales sunk throughout 2025 as Musk led Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency cost-cutting panel. He also spurred backlash to Tesla in Europe by aligning himself with far-right political figures and attacking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.<\/p>\n

Musk left the White House in May after a nasty blow-up with Trump over the president’s sweeping tax-cut bill, which coincided with the end of the billionaire’s appointment as a special government employee. But Tesla has still faced serious financial blowback, and Musk said he expects the company to suffer from several more “rough” quarters<\/a> ahead.<\/p>\n

Even so, Tesla remains a favorite tech stock among Wall Street analysts, given the company’s stranglehold over the U.S. EV market and Musk’s heavy investments in AI. Advanced AI chips are a crucial part of Musk’s plans to create fully autonomous vehicles, as well as his growing focus on generative AI through Grok, his chatbot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
