"create hundreds of thousands of American jobs"... Given the current educational system in the US, this should be fun to watch. Oh yeah, Musk and his H-1B Visa thing. Now it's making sense.

If they're creating that many jobs, it means most of them are construction work.

Skilled labor for sure, but not necessarily college educated.

How does this work out in the long term? Operating a data center does not require that many blue-collar workers.

I'm imagining a future where the US builds a Tower of Babel from thousands of data centers just to keep people employed and occupied. Maybe also add in some paperclip factories¹?

I doubt these are permanent jobs. This project will create a ton of temporary work though!
