When companies can force states to bid in exchange for jobs, or to lower labour regulation/environmental restrictions, etc, it's a very dangerous slippery road.
I must've missed something, but where was "force" applied? Did Tesla threaten to sue Nevada (or Texas)? Did they send in teams of lawyers, threatening to shut the state down?
No. All that happened was a bit of aggressive negotiation with adult parties, who were more than willing to play the game. Nobody "forced" anybody to do anything.
However, even if you completely support local governance in the abstract, is there a limit past which you feel uncomfortable in terms of concessions to draw in jobs? For example, Ireland has structured its tax laws exactly in the way foreign corporations demand so EU based corps can avoid paying taxes. Should this be allowed?
