"He tends to let people think he created things he didn't create." Michael Lewis spells out why Elon Musk wouldn't exist without government subsidies.

That take ignores a lot. Musk co-founded PayPal, built SpaceX from scratch, and pushed Tesla when no one believed in EVs. Yes, he used subsidies—like most big companies—but to say he “wouldn’t exist” without them is just lazy criticism.

Left-wing politics is just jealousy and envy. It's so boring and miserable.

The gall of people like this twat. Unreal.

Yeah sure, we just subsidise any old Joe and voila, spaceships caught with chopsticks.

Honestly- you people are embarrassing yourselves So the government wrote PayPal, sold it, bought Tesla when they didn’t even have a prototype and started spacex at the same time???? Right it’s all government 🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦🤡🤡🤡

Idiotic nonsense. US EV subsidies were available to everyone, and only one person built a global car company. Without subsidies, Musk would have invested more time in one of his other companies and Americans would be driving Chinese EVs.

The government is so bloated it's interfering via subsidies and taxation in basically every sector of the economy, in one way or another. It's impossible to be free from the government. So this is a completely meaningless statement.

It's all so tedious. Less successful people complaining about someone more successful and productive. Just bitterness and jealousy due to person feelings of inadequacy.

Left wing politics is just boring begrudgery these days, isn't it?

Lil a brokie telling us why someone is successful will never not be funny
