Elon Musk’s business empire is built on $38 billion in government funding

[Zincwarrior]

His products are very popular

Thats why he needs government support for all of them.

Musk has received $6.3 Billion from government contracts in 2024 alone.

The -actual- irony here?
This is not the irony you think it is.

Musk has received $6.3 Billion from government contracts in 2024 alone. Can you imagine someone getting that much money from US taxpayers?

What did the government get in return for that money?

What did the government get in return for spending billions on DEI seminars, consultants, and jobs like "Chief Diversity Officer"?

Some of the money goes to necessary projects such as private rockets that our space men need and that NASA cannot supply

Okay, let's agree then that the government should simply get out of the practice of picking winners and losers and leave the investment to the private sector. It would cut down greatly on government expenses and leave a lot more money free for investors to use.

The government needs the services that Musk's businesses provide. Should business be compelled to provide for the government free? If the private sector can contract goods and services for payment, so can the government.

As Elon Musk said " the government is free to negotiate with anyone offering a better deal."

Mad theory .
Could that possibly link to this guy Musk being the richest guy in the world based on the success of key businesses for the good of the US?

Is your funny OP anything to do with Extremist Lefty Mutants hating success and winning ?
Preferring failure from DEI ?

NASA buys them. Why are they necessary?

 

[Mac-7]

Buys them or rents their services since NASA may not know how to drive

None of which was a problem for you pearl clutching shitlibs, until Musk changed teams.

Sanctimonious little worms.

All billionaires are bad.

MSN is late to the party. I've been noting this for a long time. I'm guessing they only care now that he is working for Trump.

Did they complain when he wasn't?

Nope

All billionaires are bad.

All creepy fucks are bad.

Musk used to be the darling of greenies and they showered money on his electric car business

Now he’s the Devil incarnate throughout lib la la land

But to be fair, I was not a fan of his until recently myself since I was never traumatized by the man-made global warming doomsday hoax

His being for free speech
Changed literally everyones mind.

It was a completely hypocritical position.

It was a completely hypocritical position.

How so?

 

[pknopp]

How so?

Elon Musk accused of censoring right-wing X accounts who disagree with him on immigration

Just one example but really, that's all I need. There are others.

Accused?

Never happened.

Accused?

Never happened.

I'm sure nothing is going to change your mind.

Under Elon Musk, Twitter has approved 83% of censorship requests by authoritarian governments

Back to the dishes, Sink Worrier! Leave the math to greater intellects.

He is worth how many billions of dollars? Do you know how to calculate percentages? His net worth varies by about that much depending on the value of the stock market in a day's session, sometimes less than a day.

How much of that is SpaceEx? How much is Starlink? The linked article says it goes back 20 years. How much of that was during Obama's and Biden's regimes?

The article is a left-wing hit piece and is a huge nothingburger.

For you that is par for the course needed by your TDS-infected mind.
