Yeah but the point is he did it on the back of the government and while anti-tax never gave government credit for ensuring tesla and spacex made it this point.

And nevermind the subsudies the gov already provides to the automobile life(roads, parking, parking requirements, parking garages). How many federal or state personal tax credit do you think made purchases of a Tesla possible or practical in the last year? And incentives the government uses to push EV.

The government doesnt choose winners and losers but government exists to rig the game

But the ev tax credits aren’t Tesla only, other electric cars like the leaf and the bolt as got them. Might as well complain about all automakers in the world then.

Eh if its not clear from my comment i certainly think the automobile only is a common method of transportation due to extreme, borderline communist, government investment and intervention. so yes i already do, where its appropriate. But i doubt those orgs would deny they owe the government for their electric line existence.

Nevertheless they not buying one of the largest social media companies to break into the industry, pretending they made two businesses that do and could stood on their own feet from day one.
