If musk were such a savant....

Why did he need the government to save tesla?
why did he need nasa to staff and run spacex?
Seems to rely on the feds a lot for a guy that wants to "fix" things.
In June 2009, Tesla was approved to receive $465 million in interest-bearing loans from the United States Department of Energy. The funding, part of the $8 billion Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program, supported the engineering and production of the Model S sedan, as well as the development of commercial powertrain technology.[28] Tesla repaid the loan in May 2013, with $12 million in interest

Was there something else?

GM had to be bailed out too.
 
I'm old enough to remember when it was the dems who wanted to put a shit ton of money into tesla.

You are of the belief a "savant" doesn't borrow money or hire good employees?


Post tits.
They did and it saved Tesla. Republicans were all for letting the market play out. Turns out the Democrats were right. Again.

For one thing, he didn't start paypal.
For another, he didn't start tesla.
For a third, spacex wouldn't have gotten off the ground without Tom Mueller and an influx of former NASA employees.

All with taxpayer moneys. And he's going to cut waste. He needs to be cut.
As Leroy Walker, the shit talker, always said, “He needs to be cut fast, deep, and constant.”

Anybody can start a payment company.
Anybody can start an electric car company.
Anybody can start a rocket business and build a satellite internet constellation.

Show someone who can do so profitably.

Then show me someone who can do all three profitably.

How big is that list?

Incorrect. Incorrect. Incorrect.

Musk didn't start those companies and then make them profitable. That's one of the points. The other is he had to have government help to be where he is today.
