But you look at Space X’s investment ( Will be the Largest launch site on Earth) combined with Meta’s rodeo investment in NE LA. Times may be changing.

As if we were not a big enough nuke target. Just kidding, this will pay off big time for the state. A new space coast.

Imagine the baws that are gonna go to work at Space X. Admittedly, most of the crafted trades(Electrical, INST, Automation) offshore get filled by Mississippi folks from my experience. Gonna be hard to train the operators from South La on complex stuff that Space X will need.

Delusional.
It’s about to be new Delhi down there. Elon is about to import so many Indian H1Bs it’ll make DFW look like a utopia.

Do a quick internet search and see how many HB1s Elon uses. I’ll wait.

That's the name of a dead dog, bro. That's not very nice to the former owner.

I unreservedly apologize for my faux pas.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

He filed for 742 new petitions in 2025, with a little over 1000 additional petitions for continued sponsorship.

Were you trying to say he doesn’t hire H1Bs or something? Because if so, you’re in for a horrific awakening.

There are already H1B holders working for Space X. This is publicly disclosed and you can see it for yourself with a simple search.

He can't use them at SpaceX because of National security concerns as SpaceX is a defense contractor.

Taxis, yes. Orbital rockets, no.
