Musk himself paid $0.5B in taxes on Tesla stock last year alone. That’s straight-up payback of 10% of “government money” with a single check.

Tesla stock has a market cap of $56.0B. Much of that is “money from nothing”; sale of $20.0B of which generates completely new taxes - paying the government back its $5.0B, with more to come.

“paying the government back its $5.0B, with more to come.”

So, how will I get my cut that was taken from me??

Government has no business in business.
