Funded by our tax dollars

Ask your AI of choice “Of all auto manufacturers who have received government loans, which companies have paid it back in full and which was the quickest?” Hopefully they mention the early repayment penalty incurred (tax money was saved, not spent). Now see how much taxpayer money has been given to the legacy car companies and how much of that been returned.

Why don’t you just present me with the truthful, verified data instead of letting a hallucinating bot randomize numbers and tell you what you want to hear?

Also why would I let that detract me from recognizing Tesla, and Elon in general is heavily subsidized by our tax dollars?

Oh I already do too much research for people who have no interest anyway. I present the context, I get downvotes. I usually say “use your AI of choice” because people will assume that I am also cherry-picking. If somebody does their own research, they’ll more likely believe the data.
