The biggest miss I see is some of them giving facts like you can get 1% rule and my investors are doing great...cool, who are there, show us the numbers, show the data.

300 jobs isn't a lot to bring to Memphis for a $3-4 billion dollar project (it doesn't take much to run a data center). personally I'm a musk fan, but we have to consider the ramifications to demanding this much energy.

Despite my efforts to keep all the input data consistent, I’m getting different rates of return from various rental calculators.
