At what point does Musk have to produce enough in taxes to satisfy your chronic smearing of his using piles of money offered to him?
His ventures have produced more tax revenue than what he received as credits/subsidies/loans/etc.
Pretty obvious at this point he’s not just another Solyndra, created to cash a big check and disappear. Tesla makes high-demand high-quality cars, SpaceX is regularly launching & reusing rockets at deep cost discounts (and making money at it), and his other ventures likewise are making significant progress.
He’s been at this for 2 decades, with an excellent track record for starting innovative companies.
Yeah, would be nice if he wasn’t using taxpayer money. Insofar as your legislators insist on offering piles of it to him, I can’t fault him for leveraging (and paying back!) the opportunity.
His rocketry justifies it all
