American Manufacturing Gone Forever? Look at Giga Texas

“They Said It Couldn’t Be Done—Then Elon Did It Anyway”

Let me tell you what really gets under my skin: being told that something can’t be done—especially when the ones doing the telling are the same people who never even tried in the first place.

Dismissing President Trump’s tariff-driven push to bring production back to U.S. soil, Yellen argued that such a goal wasn’t even “desirable.” Her words, set against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, seemed to echo the skepticism of economists who’ve long warned that global supply chains and high costs make reshoring unfeasible.
