The Tesla/Elon Musk situation is one I will be watching before deciding whether a President Trump is going to be a good President from an economic perspective.
If Musk finds himself subsidy-free within a few years due to Trump’s actions, the economy will be doing very well. If nothing changes, or if Musk has increased his freeloading on the taxpayer, we’ll be in a lot of trouble economically.
My bet is that Musk will see his subsidies disappearing, since Trump is appointing people who appear to be very skeptical of the global warming game.
