First requirement, be a large state and get rid of any laws requiring that cars be sold by dealers.

That’s the ticket. Take money from existing businesses and give it to an upstart.

Crony capitalism...it’s the grease that lubes today’s depleted economy.

Some say Musk is the greatest thing to come along for capitalism since sliced bread, others say he's a scam artist looking for taxpayer backing.

I tend to believe the latter. He's a billionaire that can afford to finance his broad claims and some of those claims seem to be baseless.

Where The Hell Are Tesla's Battery-Swapping Stations?

Telsa is a luxury car? Really? If they are, it must be if they were compared to a Yugo.

The winner is expected to offer the luxury car-maker publicly financed incentives exceeding a half-billion dollars............................................ What?? They can’t build that by themselves, they need the Government to show them how! I have a feeling that NY, Michigan, CA are out of the picture? I can see it going to one of the Right to work states.

Tesla launches bidding war AGAINST taxpayers.

“Surely you can bleed those chumps drier than that?” He tells one state and then another.
