I'll believe it when it's done.
How's the Foxconn plant going in Wisconsin?

Foxconn was a losing proposition from the start, as they were intending to bring a low margin commodity product to WI (led display panels).
Like Intel in Ohio, Micron will be bringing in higher margin products, albeit with huge federal subsidies. I’m not a fan of the public money, but it’s an investment in national security to bring back manufacturing capacity from Asia.

How is Tesla going in Texas, Amazon in Tenessee, Apple in North Carolina or Samsung in Austin?

Samsung is a juggernaut. They keep expanding in the area. Tesla is not really online yet, but I drive by the facility from time to time. It’s huge and there is a lot of activity there.
Don’t forget Applied Materials, which is huge here. They build the machines that build the semiconductors. Not to mention Apple having thirty buildings or so, IBM, AMD, Oracle, Dell and a ton of other tech giants.
Austin is like San Francisco’s little brother.

Raleigh, North Carolina in checking in. Drive thru RTP is nothing is sneeze at earlier. I work in the construction world and still many things in the pipeline around here.

Anyone following the foxconn story knows these are very different situations.

TSMC is well underway in Arizona, and the Intel plant has broken ground. So… believe it?

As others have pointed out, this is a different situation. I agree, it is. My comment would be more appropriate for a different sub.
