funny people talk about jobs, nobody wants to take into account that the entire US corn industry is built on subsidies and would not exist without them. Every state offers incentives to businesses, states offer incentives to filmmakers to attract movie production, but Musk creates a rocket that can land itself, a massive satellite constelation that would be the GPS of internet, all for a fraction of the cost to run NASA and he's a welfare whore. Most of these "subsidies" are actually government contracts, so real work is provided. Boeing takes far more in "subsidies" if these are counted. We bail out GM once a decade and celebrate them, no problem.
I hate subsidies but singling out one individual that is getting a very small piece of cash compared to others, mostly from state incentives and government contracts is stupid.
Tesla only exists because of the U.S. taxpayer. Musk is welfare whore.

People who fan boy Musk are uninformed, not great at thinking, or just ideologies who can only look at the world in very limited ways.
OP’s post was about Tesla. There was no singling out just staying on topic. I disagree with subsidies to any private business. Happy now?
But Musk smoked weed on crazy Uncle Rogan's show and shot a car into space on our dime, so that's okay.
