Tesla's Big Plans: What's Next for Elon Musk and the Company?

Sat Nov 08 2025

Elon Musk has big ideas for Tesla's future, and he's not shy about sharing them. After shareholders approved a massive $1 trillion pay deal, Musk outlined some ambitious goals for the company.

Production and Manufacturing

  • Increase production by 50% by the end of 2026
  • Build a huge chip factory, dubbed "terafab"
  • Even bigger than Tesla's current gigafactories

Optimus Robot

  • Perform surgeries with precision beyond human capability
  • Help set up bases on the moon and Mars
  • Next-level moon buggy or Mars buggy mentioned

Confidence and Incentives

  • Clear path to own a quarter of Tesla over the next 10 years
  • Potential to become the world's first trillionaire if targets are met
  • Targets include growing Tesla's market value to $8.5 trillion
  • Over 75% of shareholders voted in favor of the deal
  • Musk would step away from Tesla if the deal hadn't passed

Upcoming Projects

  • Optimus, the Semi truck, and the steering wheel-less Cybercab in production next year
  • Reduce supply chain constraints by building his own chip factory

It's clear that Musk has a lot on his plate, but he's not one to back down from a challenge.
