Looks like they’ll be using abandoned oil rigs and drilling rigs for launch and retrieval.

Landry LED's MO is to give away the farm. Did Exxon give the land to the State and SpaceX get a $1/year lease deal? (Similar to the Hyundai deal).


so your solution is not get anything here? just let the land sit vacant?

yall realize all of that all the surrounding states are offering the same kind of deals right?

we have this discussion every time a new plant or manufacturing business comes. People bitch about the tax incentives every time, every fricking time with zero understanding. its really simple....you either want nothing or you are ok with deferring the taxes for 10 years, getting all the money from construction and income tax from employees and then in 10 years getting the money from the property tax when it comes online.

it really is that simple.....nothing vs a little now and a big chunk in 10-12 years. because if you do not offer these things, the businesses go right over to texas and you get nothing!




Landry has been awesome in attracting companies here. Anyone that says otherwise is insane.

The only reason people dont like him is the whole LSU thing and in the end he was correct, handled it like shite, but he got the job done, period.


Do I think he is a douche half the time...absolutely but that douchebag is doing an actual great job on the economy


now he needs to be a major a-hole and activate the national guard big time and go fricking ape shite on crime, 1990s NYC style. Stop and frisk everywhere, almost every corner around LSU and downtown BR and all over CBC and FQ in NOLA should have soldiers. Clean that up and some with the education and you have a huge win to go with the economic wins

I’m skeptical of the data centers, but I love this. This could be as transformative for Southwest Louisiana as Chenier Energy.


It will likely cost the taxpayers billions, and you'll receive nothing. Basically all of Elon's companies do this.

Enjoy boomer.

oh you mean the way he was a douche bag in the way he handled the LSU situation but ultimately ended up getting the job done correctly and got the right people in position to make things happen?

sure he is a douchebag....but are we electing officials to get the job done or are we worried about fricking optics still like the last 30+ years?

Well, data centers require a lot of water for cooling. I'm assuming in space, that is not needed considering it's very cold up there. #notarocketscientist

All the things that make earth based data centers bad don’t exist when they are in sun synchronous orbit 500 miles up. Solar power, no water, no noise.

If it were anyone other than Elon Musk, would the Left even utter a peep?
