Nearly 900 residents petitioned Grimes County, Texas, for stricter oversight after a tax break for Musk's Terafab factory; commissioners will review demands. The petition, presented to the Commissioner Court on Wednesday, demands local oversight, measurable local hiring commitments, and pollution controls. It follows a tax break for the SpaceX-led Terafab, a Tesla/Intel joint venture; SpaceX will pay $20 million annually, about 78% of normal property taxes. The 100-million-square-foot project aims to boost semiconductor supply for AI, robotaxis, and robots. Residents also voiced concerns about power consumption, pollution, and an influx of construction workers.
