semiconductor infrastructure particularly more domestic production here in north america would go a long way luckily this is one thing that president joe biden gets during a summit of the chip shortage in the spring biden held up a silicon wafer and acknowledged this is infrastructure and he's pledged NUMBER_TOKEN billion worth of government funding to help american companies step up their game on research and development in the semiconductor industry and that's no small amount of money but NUMBER_TOKEN billion is just a drop in the bucket to solving this problem on a global scale it's believed that there will need to be between two and three trillion dollars worth of new investment into semiconductor production to get us to a level where we can not only meet the current demand but also get into a position where supply can grow into the future elon musk has said that tesla still has no interest in building their own fabs or foundries instead they are moving ahead on a new deal with samsung that will secure the advanced microchips that they need for tesla's next generation of full self-driving hardware so it's one of those things that we didn't realize was a problem until it was too late and now we're just stuck waiting around for it to get fixed i'm sure we've all got a story at this point about trying to get our hands on some kind of tech that was just impossible to find whether it's a tesla or a psNUMBER_TOKEN or a washing machine let's chat about it in the comment section below for more tesla news delivered straight to your inbox make sure to subscribe to our tesla space newsletter we keep you up to date on all things elon musk tesla spacex neuralink and boring company in one quick and fun to read package link in the description to sign up it's the URL_TOKEN and make sure to drag our emails over into your primary inbox so we don't get lost in the promotions tab also don't forget to check out our new space race channel and subscribe over there for even more space exploration content as always if you want to continue to learn about everything regarding tesla spacex and elon musk we've got two more video options for you on the screen to check out don't forget to give this video a thumbs up today if you liked it and subscribe to our channel for weekly content just like this
