How we checked this
Checked on September 27, 2026. The cited source supports every part of this claim.
The article supports that job creation was expected, both in the COO's statement and in DME's 2021 estimate. It also notes that it is not clear how many people have actually been hired.
Confirmed in the source:
- Core Scientific's COO said in a 2024 email that the expansion was expected to bring job creation
- Denton Municipal Electric estimated in 2021 that the expansion would lead to up to 300 on-site jobs
