Elon Musk’s companies are never boring. They make cool products. They suck up huge amounts of our tax dollars because corrupt politicians funnel our money to him. But they’re not dull.

And his companies generate even more tax dollars in return. Net gain for taxpayers.

(...or should we cancel the mortgage interest tax credit? Mostly the same as the “tax dollars” Musk’s ventures get.)

The Boring company also makes the worlds coolest looking, most expensive roofing torch.

People all over the place are changing their definition of the term “Flame thrower”

Yeah, they take some tax dollars, but they are so much more efficient in the use of those tax dollars than present and past government handout recipients, like Boeing, ULA, etc.

In this case he's giving taxpayers a gift.

He's giving us the shaft.

I read that the commercial real estate surrounding the Gigafactory is already sold out. The local government is probably thrilled with their investment.
