Musk produced a product that people want and are willing to pay for. Granted he did need government loans to start up but they are paid back. What have you produced Ms. Warren for all the tax dollars “invested” in you salary from years in the pubic sector. You know Betty it might be a good idea to tax political contributions for the greater good.
Warren doesn’t employ those staffers-—The taxpayers do.
MULTIPLE ROCKETS.
Put NASA to shame.
Difference between spending TAXPAYER $$$$$ and spending your own $$$$$$.
Tesla car buyers get a tax credit of $7500.
All Ford/GM/Chrysler UNION made electric cars get a subsidy of $12,500.
HOW is MUSK getting an advantage???
She speaks the truth. I call balls and strikes like I see them.
She needs the attention and publicity because everyone is forgetting about her already.
“Kind of like she did?”
Yea, he just knows how to play the game better. The fake White Indian is the one of the ones who made the rules for the game. Elon just knows how to work the rules. I must wonder how many elected officials have stock in Elon company.
“All Ford/GM/Chrysler UNION made electric cars get a subsidy of $12,500.”
That is a recent Biden change. All EVs have been getting the $7,500 for years, and some states, like California have had their own state subsidies, as well, for years, years when Tesla was about the only one, or nearly the only well selling EVs. Ford and the other union shops were not making many EVS, and thus unlike Tesla their sales were not dependent on the subsidies, as Tesla’s were. They just want, like Musk, to mine the taxpayers’ treasuries on the “green” agenda.
Yes, I object to all direct subsidies to all buyers of EVs.
What money is that?
Do you even know the history of SpaceX and Tesla at all?
but he is not a freeloader for not paying taxes so long as he didn't violate any tax laws
Musk paid a staggering ELEVEN BILL8ON DOLLARS in taxes last year alone, by far the highest taxes paid by anybody in American history.
How much taxes have you ever paid in your life?
Stop pushing nonsensical far left propaganda and disinformation from Pocahontas.
Almost all true. PayPal wasn't his first business, he created a number of businesses. One was a Yellow-pages online type of business, and mapping service online. Musk envisioned the future and created futuristic businesses. He plowed his earnings into creating new business ventures, rather than sit back and revel in luxury like Elizabeth Warren did on the taxpayer's dime.
She has 12 mil. She’s jealous of him? That’s sick.
Any taxpayer loans were a fraction of the money Musk borrowed, all of which were paid back early and with interest to the government, unlike fraudulent GM.
Most of the loans were from venture capitalists and other companies like Toyota (which sold off their shares of Tesla to gain a huge profit, shares of which were compensation against the loans of Toyota to Tesla).
You again?
Pocahontas is not correct on anything. Tesla got a loan of under $500 million from the government in 2008 when the economy was collapsing, which they paid back IN FULL and with interest and early. The government made a very nice profit from it.
At the same time in 2008, the government gave a loan of a MASSIVE $50 BILLION to GM, of which they lost over $11 Billion.
U.S. government says it lost $11.2 billion on GM bailout
Go harrassed GM for not paying back tax payer dollars.
I used to call Musk a miner - he mines the public treasuries for the subsidies without which Tesla would have folded long ago.
Just how much tax payer money went into Musk's first two companies that made him rich in the first place, Zip2 and PayPal? Answer: ZERO.
Most such anti Musk “channels” on YouTube are run by crazy people out looking to make easy money.
Most of what they dish out is garbage.
dizzy lizzy the ditch witch, is just jealous of Musk for his tesla/spacex stock options, i know he sold a bunch of tesla stock and paid several billion in taxes.
The injun version of “you didn’t build that.”
tesla is trading at 1100 a share today, with 1 billion share outstanding and 20 million shares traded.. just what subsidies is tesla taking??? ummm
Bide wants to give special union subsidies to car companies companies that employ UAE workers, which would exclude Tesla (no unions), but he couldn't get the bill passed.
All EVs have been getting the $7,500 for years,
Tesla EVs haven't gotten any government subsidies for close to three years. Ford is still getting the EV subsidies.
for years, years when Tesla was about the only one, or nearly the only well selling EVs.
Um, GM was making EVs before Tesla was even founded.
Which is it then Ms Warren? If you say 2 or 3 then scrap the system. But if you say 1, then on what basis do you go after Elon Musk since nobody gets any special treatment?
