Have the execs actually visited Memphrica???
Um, isn’t Memphis one of the most dangerous cities in America??
I hear it’s going to be built on the site of Graceland. ;-)
Lousy location.
Musk must find exceptional value in corrupt, incompetent, illiterate, greedy bureaucrats, and utilities service that's about the worst in the nation. Throw in the out of control crime and property theft, and no-policing police, and Musk has chosen the trifecta of misery.
Maybe he misses South Africa and wants his very own here?
Powered by the New Madrid Fault.

"I'll have to think about it. Come back to this place in twenty-five thousand years."
One habit of driving through Memphis...is to drive through Memphis and not stop. Although to be honest, the airport there wasn’t bad but it’s 4-5 years since I’ve flown through there.
I wouldn’t locate a slaughter house in Memphis.
TVA operates a slew of hydroelectric dams, nuclear powerplants, and coal and natural gas fired powerplants, which combined can produce electricity that's abundantly available 24/7.
He better have damn good liability insurance for all the X employees who will be assaulted, raped and murdered by the feral demons in Memphis.
How will he attract victims...I mean tech workers to Memphis?
Ever heard of the New Madrid fault?
Nice selection...nothing screams high tech, and “future” like a bullet riddled metro area called Memphis. I guess he’s going to teach the locals to code?
Memphis is hot. Africa hot for large parts of the year. Cooling costs are going to be astronomical.
Memphis, today, is definitely NOT the “famous” Memphis of the distant past:
[Verse 1]
Long distance information, give me Memphis, Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
Because my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall
[Verse 2]
Ah, help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She’s the only one who’d phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge
[Verse 3]
Ah, help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee
[Verse 4]
Last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee
Chuck Berry (and Johnny Rivers) would not sing about Memphis today...
Translation: "We gave Musk a massive and innovative tax break..."
Memphis? Obviously, someone didn’t do his due diligence. Doesn’t Musk want to be in a place where people want to Work? That isn’t the Memphis mindset.
