the majority of his fortune was made possible because of the us government and he spends half his time online railing against government regulations
In February, Ukraine’s vice prime minister posted images of a truck filled with what appeared to be standard Starlink terminals, days after he tweeted at SpaceX CEO Elon Musk asking for assistance. It’s unclear whether these terminals were sent solely by SpaceX, though The Washington Post’s report does note that USAID had previously bought 175 Starlink terminals as part of a separate agreement.
It does appear like SpaceX did make a significant charitable donation to Ukraine. USAID told the Post in a statement that the “delivery of Starlink terminals were made possible by a range of stakeholders, whose combined contributions valued over $15 million,” and its original press release said that SpaceX donated $10 million worth of equipment in service. But, as with many other SpaceX projects, the company does appear to have gotten a significant amount of public funding for the project.

It was only last month that TSLA finally was forced to show shareholders how much of their profit was from government subsidies. They fought hard to keep this from being disclosed in a separate line item.

Seeing dorks get all torqued up over Elon and then confused by his behavior is so entertaining.

early Tesla retail investors: am I a welfare queen?
The only thing more prevalent than the confusion in that video is cargo shorts and chins.

the billionaire conman, the only dream america has left
Cliffs: regulators (SEC and DOJ) don’t have the balls to take Elon out even though he’s blatantly breaking laws because he is so huge now, if they bust him ppl will lose billions and hundreds of thousands of people will be out of work/go broke.
They will gladly press charges once the grift pops, but they don’t want to be the cause of it and take the blame
