acquired SolarCity on November 17 in a deal worth roughly $2 billion.
How many jobs for how many years,at what wage level does Tesla provide?
It appears that NY has spent 3/8 of the total value of SolarCity!
Such a deal! Musk gets 3/4 of his plant paid for by the most generous tax payers!
Good grief—bookmark. Sad for NY
This will all eventually link up to Reid’s incestuous scams with Elon Musk and Warren Buffett in Nevada. I hope to write a book on some of this.
Oh and Podesta is involved too.
Solar in Buffalo? How’s that going to work in the winter with their roofs loaded with a few feet of snow? the muskateer has proved himself a brilliant shyster at taxpayer expense, but we already knew that.

SolarCity officials recently reported that the gigafactory is nearly 90 percent complete and that it hopes to start installing equipment this summer. “Manufacturing is scheduled to begin in 2017,” Rive said. “SolarCity has committed to employ at least 1,460 people in the city of Buffalo, with 500 jobs at the manufacturing facility. We will employ a total of 5,000 people in New York state by the 10th anniversary of the completion of the facility.”

If my ciphering is close that is about a HALF MILLION PER JOB. 750MM/1460= 500K
In ten years Musk will own most of NY State.If he is still around.
We always get screwed. The US Attorney has indicted 5 or 6 of Cuomos insiders on this deal for all kinds of charges including bid rigging. Most predict this company will not hire anyone and this will be a million sq ft empty bldg.
We’re supposed to laugh, right?
Buffalo is on the Canadian border (so, low angle sunlight nine months a year), and it gets 112 inches of snow in the winter.
