Evidently it is a conflict of interest for successful businessmen to engage in government operations.
Only professional affirmative action DEI bureaucratic parasites are allowed to do that.
Trump just put a trillion dollars towards AI infrastructure, no?
I’m guessing the ROI in the form of Musk’s taxes greatly offset the 18 billion.
I didn’t agree with it at the time because it was from obummer, I think, for electric cars.
If the goal is for the US to take the lead in an important area, I can live with it.
I just didn’t think EVs were a good goal :)
But I’m sure Musk has paid that back many times in taxes
“At the same time you continue to get billions in government contracts. Tesla gets billions in subsidies. How do you explain that to the American people?”
The way he does it is all legal and out in the open. That is how he explained it.
Stupid questioner had orders directly from a former dildo House Speaker??
Too bad Fox, like all the other mainstream media, wasn’t brutal with questions for the Creepy Gropin’ Pedo Biden and Odoofus the illegal islamic administrations. The US wouldn’t now be in bad shape had the truth come out.
I actually watched that episode and she did no such thing.
If Musk gets a few billion dollars in subsidies, yet saves the taxpayers a few hundred billion in wasteful spending....
I have no problem with this.
What’s she doing there?
Did she walk into the wrong TV station by mistake?
This is FOX, not MSNBC.
What the Hell does this bitch have against Elon? Stupid bitch needs to get FIRED from FOX News immediately if not sooner!
Subsidies Jessica? Really?
Does she have any idea how much Elon and his companies pay in taxes? She’s a stupid 3rd class t*at with a big mouth.
Jessica Tarlov, the screaming Lefty nutter on faux news...
No.
Trump announced that 3 private companies were investing $500 billion of their own money in AI infrastructure.
Has nothing to do with Musk.
EV subsidies began in 2010, long before Trump or Musk were ever near the White House.
So Elon made $18B in 10 years, $1.8B/year with thousands of employees. Stacy Abraham’s made $2B per year with 0 employees. I’m OK with that.
‘ Does she have any idea how much Elon and his companies pay in taxes?’
Do you?
Tesla has paid over the last 3 years 48 million in taxes. A rate of .4%
Paid nothing last year.
His companies have received around 40 billion in government contracts, subsidies and tax breaks.
I NEVER said it has anything to do with Musk.
Not once...I said the EVs did.
If you want to dispute that, there’s LOTS of info that he did benefit..in fact, FReepers flipped out at the time.
But it didn’t bother me. He was smart enough to take advantage of the opportunity.
I understand the “herd” mentality around here...there’s only good guys and bad guys and if one even SEEMINGLY attacks a “good guy”, they will pay :)
No one’s perfect though. Not even FReepers such as yourself :)
But thanks for correcting me on the AI investment.
And yet that’s where problems begin.
Jessica is the most dumb$hit bitch on Fox.
Divest from her carcass immediately
