SpaceX Warns Investors Of Chip Supply Risks As Elon Musk Targets In-House GPUs - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)

Commercial space flight giant SpaceX has warned investors it could face supply chain risks as it moves to scale up its in-house AI compute efforts.

Supply Risks Plague SpaceX

According to S-1 filings accessed by Reuters on Wednesday, SpaceX had listed its in-house chip manufacturing as one of its "substantial capital expenditures." SpaceX also outlined that it did not have long-term contracts in place with suppliers and that it will continue to source a "significant" portion of its compute from third-party suppliers.

"There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our objectives with respect to TERAFAB within the expected timeframes, or at all," SpaceX said.

SpaceX did not mention a specific figure when it comes to the CapEx outlined in the filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the report said.
