"Meanwhile, Musk pointed out, Tesla is adding 6,000 jobs directly, and 16,000 indirectly, to the Nevada economy. As a result of the construction, Moody’s has raised Nevada’s credit rating, which has made it cheaper for the state to borrow. The state will actually make money on the deal."

The author is completely clueless. We all lose when states bid for politically correct industry. The most obvious way is that the other states lose. The second problem is that political correctness does not solve engineering or economic problems, it exacerbates them. In this case we have the relatively rare and expensive lithium being wasted on overpowered cars and uneconomical home power storage.

Some of what Musk sells is cool, but he should do it with his own money, not tax dollars. The same is true for Government Motors (which I am boycotting forever because of their corrupt bankruptcy), and all other companies. Government is there to govern, not to pick winners and losers.
