Solyandra!!!

Musk actually accomplished something, Solyndra, not so much.

Did other companies in the program?

Did her ever fail using government money?

Then use their names. Not that I am aware of though Tesla was apparently close to a goner at one point.

The comparison is yours not mine.

Modern day Galt.

Yep. But you disagree?

He is a looter. Though he is more than that but objectivism doesn’t allow for it to be more than that. You either are or you aren’t. The whole thing is binary.

If he was on that train that crashed in the book there would be a paragraph justifying his death and a tale how he was not the equal of Reardon.

It’s the loan program that was attacked as a program against green energy. Solyandra was a poster boy.

He is being propped up by about 5b at one point more now probably. He was losing 4K per vehicle sold.

I don’t think she ever did anything in ONE paragraph though

Musk must have strayed from plantation.

Wondered off his parent’s emerald mine.

He picked his parent?

Nah, he did not. He just inherited it all.

There go PA laws! Yippee!

Between this and chanting “they’re a business they can’t do what they want” in reference to social media companies, they are really coming around.

Funneh i don’t actually support that position.

You just did.

Are you joking? No i am not. I am not sure you are understanding my point.

The government is choosing winners in this instance. The government… i have no problem with that. Do you?

I’m wondering how he accumulated so much wealth…and how much of that wealth came from goverment.

Right?

Elon Musk's growing empire is fueled by $4.9 billion in government subsidies

All prog stuff?

The guy taking government subsidies while some posters can crack about the return on investment… he isn’t Galt.

Indeed and his business acumen managed to secure more government money. The key word here is government. It’s not a bad thing.

The government however is not getting out of the way of the private sector, its propping it up

That’s a good thing except of course it’s not a conservative position. Unless it is now because fan boys?

I pretty much part ways with my conservative friends when it comes to solar.
