Except that it doesn't work like that.

What happens is that the jobs up and move as soon as the subsidy ends.

There has been quite a bit of research done on these kinds of tax subsidies and they almost always cost more than doing nothing and not getting the jobs.

So you claim that in five years Tesla will abandon their Nevada Gigafactory and build a new one in another state. Doesn't check out.
