Tesla may thrive on mandates, regulations, and subsidies, but I can’t help but wonder if it would be a better business without them. A business built to compete in the marketplace, not to survive on training wheels.
Musk got mugged. Now he’s a conservative.
Yep.

There is a lot of accounting trickery in this bill that isn’t being disclosed to the public

Nothing is more permanent than a “temporary” government program
He certainly has used the vast powers of the state in China, to help build and develop his products. Via Chinese control and support. As per the sop for US companies, they usually bash America, but leave China alone. Musk Kowtow’s with the best of them in regards to China.
Read ...Lift Offf....about SpaceX and Musk...he only had 200 Million at the time...if you work for him its 24-7
“if you work for him its 24-7”
My wife worked as the Controller for a driven entrepreneur for almost 10 years. Our children were in HS when she took the job. Three previous Controllers quit. The man was very demanding. Timelines were insane.
But, he was very generous with her pay and benefits. All her vacations were paid for 100% including first-class flights and 5-star hotels every year. She didn’t quit that job. She watched the business grow and enjoyed working there until he sold it and retired to Hawaii.
He seems to be awakening but he still makes my skin crawl.
I wonder how much indirect Chinese government subsidies flow into the LA Times and our press, and US tax subsidies too?
Going forward, Tesla’s regulatory credits sales may reach as much as $2.2 billion in fiscal 2021 at a compounded growth rate of 40%, and as much as $3.1 billion in fiscal 2022 based on the same CAGR. Tesla’s sales of carbon credits will be a massive $4 billion by the end of fiscal 2023 if the compounded annual growth rate maintains at 40%.

By subsidizing union companies the government is undermining competition, effectively punishing workers who choose not to have a pro-communist union parasitizing their paycheck to fund Democrats.
Anyone here thinking he’s a quick learner a la Trump?
The citizen has no recourse against the government, yet the government has no remorse over its mistreatment of the citizen.
I miss Ronald Reagan!
“Government Is ‘the Biggest Corporation, With a Monopoly on Violence, Where You Have No Recourse’ “
The federal government cannot win without the assent and cooperation of the states. Quite simply, the federal fascist bureaucrat weenies don’t have the manpower to extinguish 500 brush fires in 25 states.
Agreed.
We've been talking about secession as a possibility to separate ourselves from the government corruption from Washington D.C.
DENOUNCING OUR TIES TO THE VATICAN AND BRITISH CORPORATIONS AND CORRECTING OUR POLITICAL STATUS BACK TO A SOVEREIGN CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC SIMILAR TO HOW OROVILLE IN CALIFORNIA HAS IS A MORE COMPLETE WAY OF CORRECTING WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING.
One of the sinister things about federal subsidies is that the subsidizing of your competition puts enormous pressure on you- even if you are against subsidies - to accept subsidies too, in order to play on a level field.
Reminds me of gang initiation rights I mentioned on another thread. Evil people are not content to just be evil, they are driven to pull others into their power by pressuring them to commit one perverse crime to get accepted. Then they use your sin to control you and coerce you into doing more, and more. You get the privilege of being in the club, before you realize you also cannot simply leave it.
As far as the headline quote, hes not wrong at all.
But no one talks about how GM and Ford are entrenched in China, and have long done so long before Tesla. Biden lavishes praise on GM for falsely being "a leader in EV's in America", when the majority of their cars come from China, Mexico, Canada and other countries. Teslas sold here, are built in the USA unlike Ford and GM. People need to wake up to the lies from Biden and others. Government is the problem, not the solution.
