Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence.

That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received.

President Biden, why not weigh in on this and threaten to veto a bill unless it includes aid? Also, threaten to delay Trump’s inauguration until he gets out of the way and lets Congress act. #budget #spending_bill

One upside of President Musk and his sidekick Donald blowing up the spending bill before Christmas is they’ll arrive in DC with seriously decreased congressional leverage.
