- I'd respect him a lot more if he didn't take money from taxpayers that he didn't need, and clearly he is in a postion to not need subsidies anymore.

Actually Tesla does NOT get any subsidies on EV cars sold anymore. Haven't for about 2 years.
Those EV subsidies apply to first 200,000 EV'S sold and Tesla has long exceeded that number.
And Dementia Joe's new subsidies are only for car companies with unions like GM, Ford etc. Tesla has no unions.

>>Actually Tesla does NOT get any subsidies ...

Yea, I know, but he has other companies - Starlink/spaceX in particular where he has already applied - and will get - another $Billion +/- for rolling out internet, not to mention solarcity for solar credits etc.

They guy is brilliant, but to really like him I want him to be the guy that says ‘no thanks’ to any help from the government - just doesn’t sit well for an average guy like me to have to give money to the richest guy on the planet to do what he probably was going to do anyway.

I don’t care if it ends up being a good investment - he is rich enough to not need it, and would win a lot more supporters (and reduce a lot of criticism) if he would keep his hands out of the public’s pocket..
