For those who follow all the drone pilots documenting the progress, one spoke with the contractor currently clearing the large area west of 130 and was told that Tesla's HQ was being built there.
From what I was told is across 130 from Tesla would be SpaceX manufacturing. They will make the starlink satellites.
Pretty sure SpaceX and Tesla are two separate companies. In addition, Tesla is a public company (you can buy stock) while SpaceX is private. We know Elon Musk has a significant position and presence in both companies though.

You are correct. I did some research on the topic earlier this morning. SpaceX, Boring, etc. are all separate entities with Musk probably having a controlling interest in all of them.

Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk has revealed that the company will soon need more than 10,000 employees in the Austin area.
The electric car maker had originally estimated it would create over 5,000 jobs at its rising factory in Travis County, but Musk tweeted on March 31 that the company will actually double that estimate by next year.
"Over 10,000 people are needed for Giga Texas just through 2022!" Musk tweeted, sharing a screenshot of an Austin Business Journal story published earlier this week about the company's hiring plans, including comments from Chris Reilly, Tesla's director of recruiting and workforce development.
Manufacturing experts have told the ABJ for months that the car manufacturer could create 15,000 jobs because of the scope of Tesla's planned operations. The company has said it will offer an average annual salary of about $47,000.
Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) plans to produce its Model 3s, Model Y SUVs, Cybertrucks and Semi tractor-trailers in Central Texas. The factory will also host a battery cell manufacturing unit.
Huge news. Went from 5k to 10k. That complex is gonna be one of the biggest in the world when fully built out. Still waiting to find out what is going to be built west of 130. Speculation and rumors are running rampant as to what they are preparing to build at the location.
11:50 mark you can see them clearing land which is on the other side of SH 130. I can't find it at the moment but someone did a post a description of the recent land purchase from Musk across from GigaTexas.
