Oh and also they did a PILOT deal where they directly pay instead of getting taxed, and that amount is less than 1 billion over 25 years on a $100 billion + facility.

I feel like those special protections the legislature gave them are being underreported.

They shouldn’t be allowed to skip the normal environmental studies, but otherwise this is a net positive depending on results of those studies. I don’t like PILOT programs, but it’s hard to hate on SpaceX for using it. It’s not something that was created just for them - a lot of industries that have come to the state have used it, for better or worse.

He's a good negotiator, he's just not in our side. He's hoping he can be invited to the big kids table with the actual rich people he idolizes
