Musk’s companies have paid back every government loan with interest.
Taxes paid on his products & profits have exceeded tax credits given for them.
Technological advancements have been astounding (reusable rockets, 300+ mile luxury EVs, viable progress toward Mars).
And Musk himself is BEGGING Congress to end the subsidies.

Sorry but Musk is the type of con artist and dreamer that traditionally has fooled the American people on occasion. He recently proclaimed that he has “government approval” for a vacuum chamber to transport people on the east coast. Really? What “controlling legal authority” ( in the words of high priest Al Gore) gave him that approval? Rational people understand that every entity in the universe obeys the laws of physics.An industrial society is not sustainable on “green energy”. Ultimately the materials, manufacture, propulsion and maintenance of Tesla cars will require the burning of perhaps more carbon fuels than comparable internal combustion engines. Musk shows signs of being a bit deranged. Yet he has the support of people with limited intelligence and insight.

I don't have a problem with Musk building whatever he wants. But I do have a problem with lies. He says he's saving the planet by building cars that do 0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds. That's a lie for two reasons. None of his companies are about saving the planet and luxury sports cars do the opposite.
