Guarantee that’s not going to happen. In fact with all the savings from the other more critical services being defunded, Elon will have more money for his own projects.

The parasite class
Donald Trump’s dad made a lot of his money off of overcharging for FHA housing. Does that count?
Since they started, how much money in subsidies found its way directly to the American co-president anyway?
well, the one that hit the news recently is that bullshit $400m ‘armored tesla’ contract for state department. the one they ‘oopsed’ and went back to remove tesla by name from.
Looks like that was initiated under the Biden administration?
The Tesla contract started in the Biden administration “to explore interest from private companies to produce armored electric vehicles,” a State Department spokesperson said on Thursday.
Tesla was the only company to express interest in the department’s request at the time.
“Why save billions, when we can save millions?”
Which SpaceX subsidies are you referring to? Just the contracts they’re fulfilling for NASA and the DOD?
Nice try.

Musk is insane and lies when he opens his mouth. The whole operation runs on government dollars and tax breaks.
Looks like state subsidies, not federal?
On a smaller scale, SpaceX, Musk’s rocket company, cut a deal for about $20 million in economic development subsidies from Texas to construct a launch facility there.
Included in the local subsidies is a 15-year property tax break from the local school district worth $3.1 million to SpaceX. O
Nice try, stan

The article linked in the post I’m replying to, while from 2015, details $5.9 billion of subsidies that no-one I know approved in forms including tax breaks, century long $1 leasing deal in New York, rebates, and gifted sellable carbon credits.
This is separate to the $5.5 billion in SpaceTwitter contracts.
Both numbers, have, I’m sure I don’t need to check any data sets to see have gone up in the 10 years since.
Yeah. But how do we get off earth?
you don’t. there is no escape and no one is coming to save you just be a better person while ur alive
Cutting EV subsidies would lead to more gas cars, which isn’t good. Investing in public transit would be better, but encouraging EVs is also good.
If you guys really wanted cheap EVs, maybe not having 100% tariffs on Chinese EV’s would help. You can make an argument about not letting the Chinese government into the market, but as it currently stands the US government isn’t looking much better.
Sure, but that doesn’t change whether subsidies should be granted or not.
It would be better to subsidise owners rather than manufacturers.
They do. That’s what these subsidies are. But it does mean Tesla can change more.
