“musk donated cyber trucks to the fire stricken areas of california for the people to connect to the starlink satellite system for internet access and outside communication...
Sure he did and it was a nice gesture. But were they actually donated completely for free, did they not cost anyone anything? Do you think he told his bookkeepers not to write them off corporate income taxes as a loss? Of course he wrote them off, every business would. So it actually didn’t cost him anything in the end. We compensated him for the cost. So Ca costs became our costs and not even Musk’s, we indirectly paid for them as a loss in tax revenue. And Musk and Tesla got huge free national advertisement. This is no different than a business giving away free advertisement hats, T shirts, or pens and writing them off their taxes.
I sure wish folks would think deeper into these things before judging, there are always extenuating circumstances and layers of reality never considered. You can’t always just take things as they are presented, there is always more in the full story not being considered.
it cost the customers time to wait for their new cyber trucks to be delivered...
