"Fabs" = chip making factories, at least based on my reading of the article.
Also, Jesus-
Altman is clearly a charlatan. He needs to be shamed and ignored out of existence.
Where’s the lie?
Saying that a fab costs 200 billion when they usually cost from 10 to 20.
36 fabs is also very probably stupid as hell, assuming you want anything modern.
The actual equipment it takes is pretty seriously limited, to the best of my understanding.
There was a slight bonus in there for him to, genius doesn't work for free
