Oct 7 (Reuters) - Intel ⁠Corp will continue to work ⁠with Elon Musk on his Terafab ‌project, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday.

Here's what to know:

• Intel will remain involved in the project, ​CEO Lip-Bu Tan told ⁠Bloomberg ahead of ⁠an event in Tokyo marking the USchipmaker's ⁠50th year ‌of operations in Japan.

• Intel and Tesla did not ⁠immediately respond to requests for comment ​outside regular ‌business hours.

• Last week, Tesla and ⁠SpaceX CEO ​Elon Musk said on X that there were discussions over potential cooperation between ⁠Taiwan chip major TSMC and ​his chipmaking project, Terafab.

• Responding on X to a screenshot of an article ⁠headlined "TSMC Exploring Plans to Work With Elon Musk's TeraFab," Musk wrote on Saturday: "Just discussions, but something may come of ​it".

• A potential involvement ⁠by TSMC could likely challenge Intel's role ​in Terafab, as Musk ‌weighs partners for the ​chipmaking venture.
