Torn on Tesla Job Offer - Nevada

Hello. I got a job offer for a process engineering role at the Nevada Gigafactory. I would be relocating from Canada. Pay is good compared to what I make up here (130k USD base + equity). The financial benefit is there but I am very torn because of many other actors (job insecurity, constant layoffs, current political climate in US, safety, toxic work culture in Tesla etc...).

No kids yet but my partner will not be coming with me initially. They have a good earning job here and cannot work on a TD visa in the US so add LDR to that list. I am having a hard time getting excited about this opportunity after doing my research online

Would it be worth the risk to take the job and reassess in a year? If I were to decline now, would it be closing the door to Tesla forever?

Just looking for some insight from past/current employees. I have been mulling over this for 2 days now. Thank you!
