Yep. Bezos already owns WaPo.

Everything converges on D.C. at some point.

Washington DC will be so unafforable that we'll have to move 90% of the current FedGov Executive departments to various state capitals and major cities just to save money.
Actually we should do that anyway.

Transportation was a major factor. Austin is out. Dallas could have contended but for some reason both Bezos and Musk seem to avoid Texas when possible.
It'll be interesting to see what Bezos does with Whole Foods, which is HQ'd in Austin - new offices and all.

They should hire Carly Simon to do the big reveal, one letter at a time.

They’d be dumb not to choose Atlanta.

Spacex has a major testing facility right outside of Waco

Not that surprising when you consider Bezos owns the WaPo and bought $25 million house in DC last year.

That's kind of their strategy. The only thing that can stop them is the government at this point.

Yes, and both companies have a presence in Texas. It's unavoidable. The falcon engines are built in California and then testing and all the "dirty work" is done there in McGregor. In addition to that there will be a private launch site in South Texas, near the coast and the border.
It's geographically an ideal location but also Texas state government is giving them money, making them immune from liabilities, and promising to close the beaches when asked. You can't pass that up. Like I said, unavoidable.

Amazon is the master of misdirection. The smart money knows where to go.

They could be trying to get other state and local governments to pony up more money.
