    Socialize risks and losses, privatize profits.

    As designed for large companies, government contracts or not. Look at the tax payments for any large company and you’ll see minimal tax liabilities.

    All of Elon Musk’s companies were created to siphon off public money.

      Yup, SpaceX is a result of him figuring out which type of business he can extract the most subsidies from…

    More socialism for the wealthy so the wealthy can charge us for what they got for free.

    Duh. Tesla isn’t your friend, nor is it benevolent. Not even if you’re a shitty maga fascist.

    Nothing to do with the story but I always downvote links behind paywall or emailwall.

      NYT honestly never paywalls me (I don’t live in North America/EU), so I can’t figure out if the article is free or not.

      I usually add an archived version if know there is a paywall (going to do that).
