Seems pretty practical to me instead of fighting with the locals to do basic things spending god knows how much money trying to approve things.
Plus once you do it you have all the room you need to expand build towers, create housing etc.
It doesn't even need to be something very complex at first just something quick and dirty to see if it's a valid solution.
I find it amazing that there's no large areas of land for sale withing a 100 miles of Silicon Valley.
As for as employee relocation is concerned don't they already have to relocate to SF and the surrounding suburbs to work there?

Yes, and they choose to live in San Francisco, with bars, members of both sexes, restaurants, museums, parks, baseball, etc...
How fun do you think this theoretical company town is going to be for someone in their 20s?
There is no land with 100 miles of Silicon Valley where you could "build a town". Supposing they went the necessary distance (500 miles, or even more, into Nevada perhaps) how practical would it be to get 1000s of employees to relocate to live in a "company town" in the middle of nowhere?
