A man who divorced the same woman twice is not smarter than /biz/

>Government subsidies.

Hell... I'd much rather subsidize companies that create jobs and help America's Middle class move upwards.

Right now, all of our fucking subsidies are going to Boomer seniors fucking retirement on one side, & welfare and food stamps for Niggers on the other.

Corporate subsidies at least create the jobs you and I depend on. Social subsidies only leech from productive society.

you're not wrong.

He made a rocket cheaper than anyone that can deliver to the space station.

He made a home battery (for solar) that can run a house for a day for cheap.

He made awesome looking cheap roofing solar tiles, that look like a tile, not a solar panel.

He is making a massive rocket (bigger than anything) to go colonize mars.
>he wants to die there

He also makes electric cars.

>He made a rocket cheaper than anyone that can deliver to the space station.
Wow, what a suprise that tax money is wasted and private organisations lower costs.

>He made a home battery (for solar) that can run a house for a day for cheap.
Nothing new. Already existed.

>He made awesome looking cheap roofing solar tiles, that look like a tile, not a solar panel.
Let us ignore the fact that solar business is a huge loss of money of everyone. Most potential customers want it cheap and have already a roof over their head.

>He is making a massive rocket (bigger than anything) to go colonize mars.
What? Never heard of this plan but I guess this stupid idea could really be his.

Every single business of his is not succesful if you run the numbers.

You understand that a legit player needs to offload moonshots and keep churning grads on the most inspirational figure question

He is a multi billionaire. He is successful. He now values changing the world for the better over short term net profits.

He just started another company that aims to integrate small computer chips with the human brain

>>1907263
He is.
His companies are not. The majority of the money he is burning is not his.

>>1907385
He actually was burning his own money with Space X and Tesla. Money that he made selling PayPal and money that very nearly ran out. Musk haters don't actually know his story and they're always focused on his public companies when his Mars stuff is a much bigger deal.

Space X can do stuff for NASA at a fraction of the cost NASA can do it for. They're saving the government money. In fact Boeing's space company is getting paid more than double Space X to do some of the exact same things for NASA.

The car subsidies are, in the scheme of government largesse, not a big deal. And if people want to invest in Tesla to give Musk money to burn that's on them.
