If you want to ding Musk for subsidies, it would be related to consumer tax credits for electric vehicles, solar panels and things of that sort, things that get the public off of fossil fuels...something that the U.S. government, under GOP stewardship, has worked to put a stop to for the past four years!!! Yet, Musk is not swayed in his determination in making a greener, sustainable energy future, one that all of humanity will benefit from.
With Tesla vehicle deliveries constantly doubling, Musk's Tesla company is reinvesting most of its profits to grow the company, finding local lithium sourced ores two build more vehicles, and expanding its supercharging vehicle charging network for it's customers and any other company willing to design an EV to charge on it.
Tesla confirms plan to open Supercharger network to other automakers next year
So while the likes of Marketwatch, CNBC, Fox News and the entirety of the right-wing media empire promote every negative story about Tesla in an attempt to suppress sales, be skeptical of the motivations behind such stories. They're almost always tied to some fossil fuel industry shill who has ulterior motives.
