Except EUV lithography is the most complicated industrial process that exists and they won't have usable yields for many years if ever. I don't think Musk actually expects these fans to ever actually make sense they just let him hype and distract.
Light generation is the most complicated part and Elon plans on doing Free Electron Laser (FEL) which is not as complicated as self contained tin based solution that ASML uses now
Why do you give Elon any credibility? FEL is not proven at all and is much much riskier than using existing EUV machines. Plus if it breaks all your machines are down until you fix it.

Wow, if only the Chinese knew that! So easy!
They’ve already contracted with Intel to use A14 for the initial buildout so that solves the process tech problem.
Not at all
They aren’t building this fab tomorrow. By the time it is ready to start producing chips I expect 14A to be in production
