SIAP: Musk got $465 Billion loan, called a bailout of Tesla not going anywhere; now he is anti-govt

[uihawk82]

MUsk is a leech. All accounts point to Tesla not going ahead and prospering then the Obama admin gave him this big cash loan (which was paid back) but it points to the fact
that Musk did not do this Tesla stuff all in the private sector.

He has no problem being one of 3 companies to get this type of loan in 2010 when about 100 companies applied for the loan. He'll take the money to make his company succeed and now question every transaction by the govt.

He has soaked up tons of money thru NASA see below. No wonder SpaceX employees cheer and clap when one of their flights is successful; when I still have a job.

NASA has given SpaceX billions of dollars in contracts over the years, including $843 million to deorbit the International Space Station (ISS).

Contracts awarded to SpaceX

• $843 million
  In June 2024, NASA awarded SpaceX this contract to build a vehicle that will deorbit the ISS by 2030. The vehicle will guide the ISS back into Earth's atmosphere and target the Pacific Ocean's Point Nemo.
  
  
• $2 billion
  In 2022, NASA awarded SpaceX about $2 billion in contracts, which was 25% more than in 2021. This made SpaceX NASA's second-most-awarded contractor.
  
  
• • $278 million
    SpaceX received this contract for development funding for the Falcon 9, Dragon spacecraft, and demonstration launches.

That's the American dream. Have everyone help you get to the top. Then spit on them when they finally get you hoisted into place.
