    Is homelessness really Musk’s problem to solve?

    Elon Musk and his companies, particularly Tesla and SpaceX, have received at least $38 billion in government funding through contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits, according to a Washington Post analysis.

    I would say that Musk is a product of government largese better spent on direct aid and public infrastructure improvements.

    The $38B should not have been his money to spend to begin with.

      It’s a service paid in exchange for labor. The government likely has many others services being paid that can also be used for that end

        Imagine confusing public services and cronyism like this. I bet you think the “Bitcoin reserve” Trump is making is a service, too
