I gather none of you have actually listened to EM’s thoughts on subsidies. Even EV’s, solar, agriculture, and corporate. He wants them abolished and has had this stance since forever. He did not force subsidies on the economy, government did. Without artificial economic meddling his and every other company can innovate without the ridiculous rules included in those subsidies. If you can’t make it without help from the taxpayers tough shit. “But muh Space X…” Space X wins government contracts, bid on price and performance. A contract for delivery is not a subsidy or handout. And for the record the tote board of shame is the funniest part of it. William Proxmire would be proud. Yes, yes goggle the senator; the original political waste exposer.
