Very interesting interview. If he's to be believed, Foxconn dropped the project because they didn't like that Evers won the election. Or, at least, that's what he implied.

He's not, and Nilay Patel repeatedly calls him on his BS during the interview.
Because the end result of a 5% tax break for a real estate pump and dump isn't all that profitable.
Frames the local issue beautifully. Check the date also. There's definitely more to how bad this went than regional or federal politics.
I would frame it as, Nilay jumps down his throat as soon as he tells an obvious, refutable lie. ;-)
