>>Elon has delivered for every subsidy his corporations have received on a scale never before seen.
Why are taxpayers giving subsidies to the richest person the planet to begin with? you don’t see a problem with that?

>>He received far less then Boeing
Getting less welfare than someone else just means you got less welfare than someone else, welfare is welfare; all corporate welfare is bad.

>>He has brought internet to areas of the country that barely had had any internet access options.
Not yet he hasn’t, and he is already has his mouth firmly in the trough of corporate welfare for that as well. Had it rolled it out without the taxpayer subsidies, then good on him - but he hasn’t - every business he goes into involves a very substantial handout from taxpayers to the richest person on the planet.

It’s not welfare, it’s government investment in technology. Like it or not, that is how congress and the bureaucracy has decided to spend your money. It’s better if they actually get something in return for it. Elon is providing that as I have already explained. Add to that, Elon has spent many more billions of his own money then any government has paid him. And because he has invested his own money and taken enormous risk in new technologies, he has become one of, if not the, richest man in the world. Note that he does not spend his money social engineering like gates or soros, he spends on the next generation technology that all of mankind benefits from.

Wrong! His Starlink division has brought low-cost Internet to thousands across the country, to many who barely have other options. Look it up, it's available.
