Musk said that given his companies' expertise in manufacturing custom devices, he believes they will likely “find a better way to make chips than anyone else.” Musk told a group of customers and investors outside the Tesla Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, that although he currently “doesn't know how to make microchips, we'll figure it out.” While attending the X Takeover event via live broadcast on Saturday, he pointed out that when visiting competitors' facilities, he didn't see much custom equipment, and he said his company has extensive experience in manufacturing such equipment, which enables them to improve manufacturing processes. Musk said, “I think it's arguably one of the hardest things in the world to do.” “I don't want to be complacent or taken for granted, but I think we're likely to find a better way to make chips than anyone else. Let's be honest. I have no idea how long this will take. It could take years.”
