What If Tesla/xAI/SpaceX’s $20-25B Terafab AI Chip Megafactory Was Built at Hanford, WA Instead of Texas? A Transformative Economic Boom for Washington State (a thread)

1/ Elon Musk just announced the Terafab project — a massive $20-25 billion advanced semiconductor fab (2nm logic, memory & packaging) for AI chips to power Tesla FSD, Optimus robots, Dojo, SpaceX data centers & beyond. It’s launching in Austin, TX right now. But imagine if Washington had competed aggressively and landed it at the Hanford Site in Benton County (Tri-Cities / Richland-Kennewick-Pasco). The impact on our state economy would be huge — especially for Eastern WA. Here’s the breakdown:

@munster_gene Capital efficient buildout = every Tesla is a mobile cell tower

[Aaron Carpenter @a_carpenter]

Same @elonmusk

[Akber Khan @akber1khan]

Yes, also have growing family

Need 3 row full size SUV from Tesla

I will not buy any other brand/car

Love my Model Y

Thx,
Tesla User

[Aaron Carpenter @a_carpenter]

Same @RyanJTorres - big families would love a cyber truck variant! @elonmusk we know you know this!

[Ryan Torres @RyanJTorres]

Yes, we need a big SUV to replace my wife’s Model X. My truck gives off the vibe with the Urander Flat Panel Rack. I get lots of sentry videos of people checking it, maybe thinking it is a SUV.

💯 @elonmusk

[The Cybertruck Guy @cybrtrkguy]

This is the way

@EZebroni @elonmusk 💯 @elonmusk

[Aaron Carpenter @a_carpenter]

Please @elonmusk

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

It would be cool to see Tesla make a big 3-row SUV in the ~210" length range for large families to compete with the Yukon, Escalade, Navigator, etc., by utilizing some of the available capacity on the Cybertruck production line.

I think it still makes sense even in the age of robotaxis and Cybercab, at least for the next few years or so.

Key Policy Pieces in Detail:

Taxes
• Under 30: zero federal income tax.
• Age 30+: flat 15% on earned income.
• Capital gains: flat 15%.
• Special one-time provision: the first calendar year a person earns $1 million or more is completely free of federal income tax (tightly defined and available only once).
• Individual tax filing is radically simplified. Only companies file full returns and claim deductions. Individuals are responsible for setting aside enough money to pay their clear tax bill.
Retirement Accounts
• Workers 55 and under move into personal accounts with automatic enrollment and escalation.
• Strong tax credits and safe-harbor rules encourage companies to match contributions, especially for younger and lower-wage workers.
• Full protection for current retirees financed by a gradual transition, Recognition Bonds, asset sales, and higher growth.
• Accounts use favorable tax treatment so growth compounds efficiently.
Energy, Housing & Regulation
• Full support for American energy production and exports.
• Major reforms to increase housing supply through faster permitting and reduced local barriers.
• Broad deregulation and hard deadlines for projects so infrastructure, factories, and energy facilities can be built quickly.
Skills and Immigration
• Large expansion of apprenticeships and employer-led training.
• Shift to a skills-based immigration system with fast tracks for high-value talent and entrepreneurs.
• Strong enforcement against illegal immigration so the legal skilled system remains sustainable.
Government Reform
• Strict term limits (suggested: House 3–4 terms, Senate 2 terms).
• Long cooling-off periods that restrict lobbying and influence peddling after leaving office.
• Modest pay and reduced tenure-based financial benefits.
• Elimination of 20 non-essential agencies and tighter control of entitlement growth.

@realDonaldTrump

Mr. President,

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, I respectfully suggest a plan called America Unleashed.

The goal: deliver strong growth that reaches everyday Americans, restore personal ownership, and make government serve rather than rule.

[Aaron Carpenter @a_carpenter]

Core Deliverables:

The plan aims to achieve several concrete outcomes:
• Drive the national debt to zero within roughly 10 years through growth, spending restraint, and asset sales.
• Convert Social Security for workers 55 and under into personal ownership accounts while fully protecting benefits for those already retired or near retirement.
• Eliminate federal income tax for all workers under age 30 so young people keep 100% of their earnings.
• Replace the current complicated income tax system with a simple flat 15% rate starting at age 30, plus a flat 15% capital gains rate.
• Create energy abundance and a major increase in housing supply to lower the two biggest costs facing most families.
• Impose strict term limits and long post-office lobbying bans to end the career-politician model.
• Require same-day voting with official government-issued photo ID only.
• Keep military funding at current levels while eliminating waste and unnecessary agencies.

Mr. President, you have a rare window with two more years of your leadership and possible continued direction under Secretary Rubio.

I respectfully submit America Unleashed for your consideration.

At 250 years, America can choose renewal instead of managed decline.
This plan aims for faster growth, real ownership, more freedom, and a debt-free country that stays strong.

Key pieces
* Extremely simple taxes (individuals face almost no complicated rules)
* Personal retirement accounts with strong company matching incentives
* Energy and housing abundance
* Skills-based immigration + more apprenticeships
* Strict term limits and long lobbying bans

[Aaron Carpenter @a_carpenter]

5/8
For everyday Americans this could mean:
• Higher real wages
• Lower energy and housing bills
• More solid job opportunities
• Young people keep more of their pay
• Retirement accounts they actually own

[Aaron Carpenter @a_carpenter]

4/8
Quick comparison (10 years)
Doing Nothing: ~2.1% growth, debt keeps rising
Heavy government path: Weak growth, higher debt
America Unleashed: ~4.4% growth, debt to zero, rising real wages, lower costs

[Aaron Carpenter @a_carpenter]

3/8
Projected real growth:
Year 1–2: 3.8–4.5%
Year 3–5: 5.0–5.5%
Year 6–10: 3.5–4.6%
Average ~4.4%.
Economy could be roughly 50% larger in 10 years.

Thank you @DavidSacks, a voice of reason finally! Gatekeeping advanced tech is the fastest way to come in second. Let it rip

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

This is *exactly* what I predicted would happen. I said Chinese models would have advanced cyber capabilities within a matter of months and the only thing to do about it was to use AI-powered cyberdefense to protect our systems. Trying to gatekeep models doesn’t work.
