Elon Musk: crony capitalist. $4.9 billion in government subsidies and counting. In the old days, people got rich by meeting an economic need. That was the American way. Here in the 21st century, people get rich by shouldering their way up to the public trough and gorging until they’re fat.

Looks like we were visited by the Elon Musk Fairy.....Someone is all butt hurt that we think their hero is a turd...
I don't get why a billionaire needs welfare. I only ever see them spend their $ on expensive homes - nothing else. Whenever it comes to these projects they get government help.
What do they do with their money? Dump it in a pool and swim in it? They never seem to spend it on their "Make the world a better place" schemes.
Bruce Wayne never asked the taxpayers to pony up for his private crusade.
Musk figured out early on how to find the right liberal politician to suck up to. Bet he's been rather generous to the Klinton Foundation.
This man is a joke. For all the assholes who brag about test driving teslas (Libertarian Andy Levy I am looking at you) or owning them... seriously? you have NO PROBLEM that tax payer's money is being used in this way? Disgusting...
Now he wants to spend your tax dollars on roller coasters.....

What an idiot.
"It would probably be really expensive, but I like the idea of it."
Yeah, that sounds like a man who knows the public coffers are endless. It sure as hell doesn't sound like a businessman.
Well, I am sure him and other Obama crony capitalists are figuring they better get all the graft they can at current bribery prices while O the transparent is in office. Hilary has not released her price list for graft & corruption should she be elected. But it is expected to rise significantly from the current Clinton Foundation prices.
Question? Why do we keep giving money to a guy who rockets fail and overpriced electric cars burst into flames? You have to wonder just how much of that Government money went right back to crony demotards in the form of payoffs and bribes. The whole system is rigged for a select few to receive all da cash, and the rest of us to get screwed. Plus demotards like to bitch and moan about the 1 percent, never stating they are firmly in the top of the 1 percent. And Elon Musk sounds like some kind of gay men's cologne.

I'm sure he's been splashed on more than one gay man.
Why else would Obama keep financing him?
Iwas going to post the obvious, but you beat me to it. How much of this cash is this fag kicking back to the DC shitbags? This is why none of these criminal ever get prosecuted. They are ALL in on collecting the kickbacks.
This administration always finances this crap. I guess shit is always shovel ready.
