#9  Memphis is a pretty nice place.

One problem is the leftist nutcase who represents most of that area in Congress. However he is 75 yr old and might retire soon.

#8  ^ Musk never does 1 thing. There are ripples.

Consider the tech boom of Huntsville AL, and now Nashville

He can get into Memphis real estate cheaply.
Also get hydro power and cooling from the mighty Mississippi river once he revamps the utility infrastructure.

I am curious about the downstream heat plume effects.

Given, AI is getting a late start due to various reasons, issues and concerns.

What was the time period between activation and AI becoming aware, then attacking humanity in Terminator?

Something like 24 or 25 days.
