WOW! "ELON MUSK DIDN'T BUILD TESLA. TAXPAYERS BUILT ELON MUSK. He didn't found Tesla. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning did. Musk bought his way in with a 2004 investment and rewrote the story.
In 2010, Tesla took a $465 million Department of Energy loan to survive. Your money kept the lights on.
Since then the taxpayer tab has exploded: $8 billion in Pentagon contracts, a new $1.6 billion Space Force order, a $946 million NASA boost, and a Golden Dome role worth an estimated $185 billion. He now co-chairs the Pentagon project that decides which weapons America buys, while his companies sell them to America.
He claims DOGE saved $200 billion. The GAO checked: most of it was fiction. 2,503 contracts worth $27.4 billion were never terminated.
He's not a self-made genius. He's the biggest government welfare case in American history, and the checks are signed by you.
