    For those curious as I to the article’s “what”:

    President Biden will travel to Racine County, Wisconsin, on Wednesday to unveil a $3.3 billion investment by Microsoft to build a new artificial intelligence data center, according to Biden officials.

    and the “why”:

    He’ll be taking a not-so-subtle shot at former President Trump in the same location where Trump touted a $10 billion Foxconn facility, which he called the “eighth wonder of the world” seven years ago.

        That doesn’t make any sense, it’s like complaining Sony doesn’t make enough movies when their electronics division is expanding.
        The 2 are not connected apart from having the same owner.

        Closing a bunch of profitable game studios*

        They weren’t floundering (at least Tango Gameworks wasn’t, I Guess I’m not positive on the others).

      Was Trump’s $10 billion Foxconn facility built? Is it thriving today?

      Edit: googled and answered my own question, it was never built.
