> There is no evidence of personal financial gain for the officials who got this deal to be made.

I don't think people are alleging personal financial gain, but rather more of a political kind of corruption: buying votes with high-profile projects. The allegation is that politicians are mainly driven by short- to medium-term reelection concerns, and therefore are buying a current positive headline ("Tesla relocates to Nevada!"), and perhaps a near-term employment boost. And that they are doing this without consideration of whether in the long-term it's actually a good allocation of tax breaks. It's possible that it is, but I don't believe that Nevada politicians either know that that's true, or care whether it's true.
