If you really hate Elon Musk, I have two words for you. "Thanks Obama"
Every single aspect of Elon's "success" has been heavily subsidized or paid for by the US government (aka, tax payers).
EDIT: It seems the "Thanks Obama" meme has fallen into obscurity. It is an older joke in which everything was blamed on Obama, no matter how far fetched. I even used italics.
The point of my comment is that Elon is the biggest "welfare" beneficiary in history. All of his businesses would be a financial failure without billions of dollars in grants, benefits and contracts from the government, and that he's been sucking on that government teet since Obama was in office. In fact, it was Obama who saved Tesla, hence the 'Thanks Obama" joke. Even Obama is aware and why the crashing Teslas scene is in the Netflix movie he produced. Now Elon is looking for federal assistance to block his competition.
What is this L take my guy?
Elon was loved by every forward facing democratic liberalism / é o-conscious person for years.
You cannot read people's hearts or minds except from how they act.
And I did not see any favist/overreaching actions, even the actual delusion of grandeur, when Obama was president.
On the contrary.
And if I remember correctly Obama told him off in multiple instances.
Did everyone really forget about the "Thanks Obama" joke? Anyway, I clarified my point in the edit.
