In the year twenty twenty and goddamn six it should not be a laughable fantasy dream to demand that the Democrats be as progressive and liberal as *checks notes* the Republican platform from 70 fucking years ago.

So he’s just going to drop a 2nm fab between College Station and Houston, with no experience doing semis fabrication. Sure. No questions.
(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk's SpaceX estimated a chip factory it plans to build along with Tesla Inc. will cost at least $55 billion, with total investment potentially exceeding the amount the rocket maker aims to raise from a record initial public offering.
The "next-generation, vertically integrated semiconductor manufacturing and advanced computing fabrication facility" may be located in Grimes County, Texas, according to a public notice. The estimated total capital investment could rise to $119 billion if additional phases of the project are completed.Musk has said the project would one day support a terawatt of computing power per year, the amount he expects the companies to eventually use as he ramps up investments in Al and robotics. The facility would aim to produce 2 nanometer chips, at the cutting edge of current technology.
Immediately after Musk outlined his plans, there was skepticism about his proposal. Building and running advanced chip fabs is a complex, competitive business where he has no track record. The billionaire's ambition is to take on leaders like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and do so at volumes far beyond the industry's current capacity.
But Musk's lieutenants quickly reached out to chip equipment makers including Applied Materials Inc., Tokyo Electron Ltd. and Lam Research Corp. to get price quotes and delivery times for the gear necessary to make semiconductors, Bloomberg reported in April.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.
