Tesla, SpaceX go all-In on Nvidia chips
Synopsis
Elon Musk said Tesla and the artificial-intelligence work linked to SpaceX will continue ordering Nvidia chips at scale. The comments come as demand for AI computing continues to rise globally, with Nvidia chips widely used in autonomous driving, robotics and large data-centre systems.
Elon Musk said Tesla and SpaceX will continue ordering Nvidia chips at scale as global demand for AI computing grows. Nvidia chips remain key to autonomous driving, robotics and data-centre expansion.
Key Highlights
- Elon Musk confirms Tesla and SpaceX will continue ordering Nvidia chips at large scale.
- Nvidia chips are widely used for AI computing, autonomous driving and robotics development.
- Global semiconductor sales reached nearly $800 billion in 2025 amid rising AI demand.
- United States and Asia remain the largest markets for advanced AI chip demand.
Nvidia chips will continue to be ordered in large volumes by Tesla and the artificial-intelligence work linked to SpaceX, according to Elon Musk, who confirmed both companies expect demand for Nvidia chips to remain high. The remarks were made on Wednesday, when Musk said the companies will keep buying the chips “at scale.”
The processors are used to support Tesla’s work on autonomous-driving software, robotics and other artificial-intelligence systems. Nvidia chips are also widely used in data-centre computing, where companies train and run AI models that require large computing power.
Orders expected to continue
Musk did not disclose the size of the future orders but said both companies will continue purchasing Nvidia chips in large volumes. The comments follow earlier statements that Tesla plans to expand its computing capacity to support self-driving technology and robotics development.
Demand for Nvidia chips has increased steadily as companies invest more in artificial-intelligence infrastructure. Technology firms, automakers and cloud-computing companies are among the biggest buyers of high-performance processors.
Rising demand across global markets
Industry estimates show global semiconductor sales reached close to $800 billion in 2025, with demand driven largely by processors used for AI computing. Growth has been strongest in the United States and Asia, where companies are expanding data-centre capacity.
Countries such as China, South Korea and Taiwan remain central to the supply chain, while Europe has seen slower but consistent growth in demand for advanced chips.
Continued focus on computing power
Tesla has already increased spending on computing systems needed for autonomous-driving software. Continued purchases of Nvidia chips by Tesla and SpaceX reflect wider demand for processors used in artificial-intelligence systems worldwide.
