Elon Musk has declared that the nation that commands the "chip fabs" will ultimately triumph in the AI competition, underscoring the necessity for the United States to bolster its investments in this sector to assert its global leadership. The US semiconductor industry is currently undergoing a transformative phase. Since the Trump administration took office, numerous companies, notably TSMC, have expressed keen interest in setting up factories within the US borders. Substantial investments in AI, high-performance computing, and other related fields, coupled with a robust demand for semiconductor products, have fueled rapid expansion in the US semiconductor market. This momentum has propelled the US to surpass Mainland China in the third quarter of 2024, making it the world's largest individual semiconductor market.
