Musk's fortune consists of $38 billion in government contracts. Cancel them all.

“Elon Musk and his cost-cutting U.S. DOGE Service team have been on a mission to trim government largesse. Yet Musk is one of the greatest beneficiaries of the taxpayers’ coffers.

Over the years, Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, often at critical moments, a Washington Post analysis has found, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person.”

Let’s have some real savings and cut Musk off completely.

 

[egp320i]

contracts, so the USG pays him for a service he provides, that is how 100% of all businesses operate.

any proof he got any loans, subsidies?
possible he got a tax credit, you do his taxes?......no so you are just speculating

So what is your issue exactly?

And unlike Obama's Solyndra, Bidens NE offshore windfarm and Newsom's Oracle debacle and Railroad to nowhere, Musk has delivered as promised. Oh yeah, forgot about Boeing's inability to make a 600 mile round trip to the ISS. There is that.

Do you know how much SpaceX has cut the cost of space travel compared to NASA or any other company ? SpaceX also has the contract to deorbit the ISS. Musk's company is better and cheaper than anyone else. That's why they are getting these contacts.

After the Obama administration cut the Space Shuttle program we relied on the Russians to put cargo and our Astronauts into space. Who do you loons hate more Russia or Musk.

Then Musk must have a REAL INTEREST in seeing America survive and work really well. That is MOTIVATION to do a GOOD JOB.

In other words, try to deny and bury the real issue that what Musk says is absolutely true: you can't keep spending 2 trillion a year more than you take in on borrowed money. If we don't cut spending on non-essential things, we won't have a dollar worth crap and then we won't have a country. Are you denying that?

I guess nasa could use rockets that cost 5xs as much as a Musk-SpaceX-Falcon, if they listened to ccclatonjjjones

Of course when democrats had Musk under their boots, Musk was the person Obama and the democrats made filthy rich.

Musk is pretty smart, took government money, built electric cars like the government demanded. Then when the government wanted rockets Musk took the profits from Tesla and built rockets.

Now Musk owns the most successful rocket company in the world making the best as well as least expensive rockets. On top on that Musk builds more rockets, faster than any other corporation or country.

If any of Musk’s contracts turn out to be underperforming, wasteful spending, or mediums/vehicles to line the pockets of politicians, then I will definitely support that contract(s) to be cut as it would be consistent with the mission of DOGE.

The Washington Post has not found any of that. All the Washington Post has done is a hit piece on Musk whose crime is getting rich off the system; mind you, not committing Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.

The Washington Post looks stupid putting out this hit piece. Democrat politicians making low 6 figure government salaries are growing their wealth into 10s of millions of dollars exponentially and not a peep from the Post but God forbid a billionaire’s company earns and produces on a government contract.

You think so? Give a company a tax break, the company produces more revenue which means more tax revenue to the government. The company creates jobs which means more individual tax revenue.

Give out more social welfare creating disincentive to work, where is the return to the taxpayer?

 

[1srelluc]

Did Musk profit from the money he was given? Well sure he did. That's sort of the whole point.

He has grown his businesses to the point that he employs 145K people. This doesn’t include figures from Musk’s non-profit organizations, such as the Musk Foundation, or subcontractors and third-party staff employed on a part-time or freelance basis.

You would have to be a rank idiot to believe Musk wasted the money.

Sigh, but then again just look at the OP.

What ? You do know that the Fed gave Russia over 3 billion dollars in tax payer money to send our cargo and astronauts into space after Obama cut the Shuttle program ?

Who is going to launch our cargo and astronauts into space ?
