    Tesla only made a profit in Q1 because of the CO2 tax credits they sell to other car manufacturers.
    Tesla is a very heavily subsidized company, in fact Tesla is built on subsidies. Yet Musk has the audacity to claim public workers only interest is to take money from the government without doing useful work!
    Without capital gains and tax credits, Tesla would be $600 million in red in Q1! And Tesla continues to lose marketshare fast in Europe.

      The longer you look at any musky business the clearer it becomes that the foundations are built upon the manipulation and harvesting of public funding.

      Whether it be tax incentives to build and operate a factory, manipulation of tax credits, or special grants, the findings are always similar.

      Then, if that doesn’t work he calls in the bad guys from planet earth to privately ‘invest’ in his flailing bullshit so they can use whatever it is as a tool to accomplish the evil they want to see in the world.
