Man, what are you talking about? He used 5 billion in grants and tax subsidies to get Tesla going, when it would have crashed and burned if he used his own capital to do it. Expecting this money to go back to us is not leftist, and it’s not attacking the rich.

I think most people could get their dream project out of the red if they were spotted 5 billion dollars to do it. I’ve never taken a dollar of wellfare or government subsidies to live my life, so fuck you, I’m self made.

What $5 Billion you talking about? Tax subsidies on electric cars were there long before Tesla was even founded. Tesla did NOT invent tax subsidies. The Dem politicians did.
You don't seem to know much about Tesla do you?
First of all Musk was not even there when Tesla was founded by two Silicon Valley guys. Musk was busy starting SpaceX at the time.
Musk came in when Tesla was broke and needed money and the founders came to him for money. Musk put $6 million of his own money into the company and took a seat on the board. Over the years, he pumped nearly all his money into SpaceX and Tesla.

You gotta actually make and sell the cars before getting any tax subsidies. You don't get sh*t merely posting garbage on web sites. Plus EV tax subsidies were available to Ford, GM etc, why are they still behind?
BTW the Dems are busy passing new laws to bring in even more EV subsidies, so why don't you go out there and make even a billion dollars let alone $300 Billion) if its so easy.

so fuck you,

Same to you.
