🔗 Tesla wants to build a $10B solar factory in Texas

The Tesla playbook is the Amazon playbook … pitch as many states as you can against each other … the ongoing nail in the coffin of the UNITED States.

Tesla has applied for tax incentives to partially offset the cost, saying that it is exploring other sites “across multiple U.S. states.” The factory would create about 9,700 full-time jobs, Tesla said.

Without incentives, Tesla’s accountants estimated that the property tax liability for the project would be about $1.1 billion over 37 years.

That’s roughly $30 million per year folks … heaven knows that Tesla and the Muskrat need all the help they can get … I mean just to employ 9,700 people at minimum wage is going to cost them an order of magnitude more than that .. and its not as if they have access to an army of robots capable of doing that work.
