"Don't spend it all at once … oh wait you did already."

If Musk keeps this up, I will have to consider buying a Tesla.

I know, I know...I have always seem him as somewhat of a Bond Villain (the guy who crys blood for tears) but in a humorous way, and now, a villain to the government.

I know he dips with both hands with subsidies and such, but...I love the way he runs SpaceX, provides something we need, and gives us something to cheer about.

That quip about "you did already" that's comedic gold. I don't agree with Mr. Musk on a lot of things. One thing I do respect him for is turning his engineers loose to create and try things. It is sometimes messy, sometimes spectacular (how many Starships have been sacrificed now?)... But they are doing things no-one else has had the money, freedom, and fortitude to try.

While my work/commute situation has changed, and an EV would probably work for 99% of my driving (I could probably rent a gasoline powered car for long range trips)... Even the Model 3, the cheapest Tesla with incentives is about 2x what I paid for my little gas powered sedan. Not even a hybrid, and I can get 50 mpg with it. Maybe next time around when I replace the sedan...
