- This plan, called Project Crystal Land, aims to revive high-tech manufacturing in the U.S. and draws on interest from tech firms like TSMC and Samsung.
- SoftBank officials have discussed with U.S. federal and state governments possible tax breaks to support factories and investments for the project.
- TSMC is separately investing $165 billion in U.S. chip factories and started mass production in Arizona, though its involvement in SoftBank's project is unclear.
