Musk says SpaceX AI, Tesla will keep ordering Nvidia chips at scale

ReutersMar 19, 2026 2:36 AM

March 18 (Reuters) - Billionaire Elon Musk said late on Wednesday that his companies SpaceX AI and Tesla TSLA.O expect to continue ordering Nvidia NVDA.O chips at scale.

Tesla is designing its fifth-generation AI chip to power its autonomous ambitions. The chips power Tesla's autonomous driving systems, including the Full Self-Driving software.
In a separate post on X, Musk said that the AI5 chip can be used for training in data centers but is primarily optimized for AI edge compute in humanoid robot Optimus and Robotaxi.
The Tesla CEO also said that the company expects a wide release of an update to its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software in a few weeks.
Musk said last Saturday that Tesla's Terafab project to make artificial intelligence chips will launch in seven days.
Last month, SpaceX acquired xAI in an all-stock deal ahead of a potential blockbuster initial public offering for SpaceX later this year. This is Musk's first post referring to the combined entity as SpaceX AI.

Crude oil volatility has been relatively subdued this week, but a research report from JPMorgan’s (JPM) Head of Commodities Strategy Natasha Kaneva and her team noted that the relative stability of Brent and WTI does not signify ample global supply. According to reports, prices for Oman and Dubai crude futures have both exceeded $150. JPMorgan pointed out that the current price stability is an illusion, created by a combination of regional inventory buffers, benchmark pricing structure biases, and policy interventions.
