Tesla and SpaceX named Grimes County in August 2026. The old Gibbons Creek power-plant land. First phase $16.8 billion. At least 3,000 jobs. The finished floor is planned at more than 100 million square feet. Logic, memory, package, and test under one roof.
Output is aimed at Optimus, Cybercab, and SpaceX orbital compute. Intel is on the process. Ground is clearing on the reservoir. Anderson, Texas, is the pin.
