That’s nice.
What about the federal and state tax subsidies for every freaking car sold? It’s big bucks and you and I pay for it but don’t get the benefit of the car.
And as far as paying it back - Musk got to have taxpayers take the risk while he got the reward... What a deal...
That’s the very definition of crony capitalism. The next step down that path is fascism.
Beat me to it. The carbon credit numbers are very large.
Not saying it's right, but if I am not mistaken, are their not *thousands* of other companies receiving government subsidies in one form or another? Are you suggesting Tesla should refuse them, while their competitors take advantage?
In fact, if I am not mistaken, private companies in the U.S. receive about 100 billion in direct and indirect subsidies....Or more.
But suddenly when a company comes out with a rather new product, that you don’t happen to like, it’s a terrible bad thing?
Are you saying you have never used services or products from companies that receive government subsidies?
