The most basic of data exploration and quality checks would have identified this as a clear spurious correlation from confounded data. Same as with the National IQ case. It's deceptive and plays to people's confirmation bias. The goal is to get people to think every correlation you like is causal.

Nevada, like many other states in the West, doesn’t charge corporate income tax, and it has also enacted deep tax cuts specifically for data centers that set up shop in the state. That includes abatements of up to 75% on property tax for a decade or two.
