With two words and a question mark, Elon Musk dropped a hint Tesla Inc. may build another U.S. factory, days after President Donald Trump suggested the chief executive officer owed the country another manufacturing plant.
Musk posted “Giga Texas?” and started a Twitter poll late Tuesday, using shorthand for gigafactory, a term he coined years ago to describe a big plant. As of 2 p.m. New York time Wednesday, 80% of roughly 260,000 respondents voted “Hell yeah.” The remainder clicked “Nope.”
