And we wanted to build a place where California would build at a scale that is worthy of this great state.

And we are doing that in a place called Solano County, which is about halfway between Silicon Valley and Sacramento.

Very importantly, it's also about half an hour east of Napa.

Over the decade, we've raised over a billion dollars, and we've acquired nearly 70,000 acres to build.

That's over 100 square miles.

This is what it looks like.

It is this incredible canvas.

for California to build again.

It is five times the size of the island of Manhattan.

The land we own is two and a half times the size of the city of San Francisco.

It is where the Sacramento Bay meets the Sacramento River.

And what we're going to build there are all of the things that California and America need right now.

And we're going to start by actually going back to what built Silicon Valley.

We're going to start by building the Solano Foundry.

which will be the largest advanced manufacturing park in America, where Silicon Valley can once again co-locate R&D and production.

There's been a lot of talk about China here today and on-shoring manufacturing.

We cannot compete with China and on-shore manufacturing by throwing bodies at the problem.

We simply don't have enough people in America to do that.

The only way that we can compete is by building factories of the future where we use robotics and AI to dramatically increase the productivity per worker.

That also makes the job more fun.
