The funniest thing about libertarians worshipping @elonmusk is that he's basically the villain from Atlas Shrugged. He makes all his money from government subsidies and contracts, and by wildly exaggerating production to pump up stock prices.

That article was pushed as propaganda to counter IMF study showing fossil fuel subsidies to be $5 trillion/year. Even if $4.9B was true, combined market cap of Tesla & SpaceX is $80B. Where did the other $75B come from? Ass

Jesus dude, market cap isn't what was invested. You put in like $70 million of the money you got from ripping people off with PayPal. The government put in half a billion. If you allowed that money to be vested into shares, they would OWN part of that market cap.

Big picture — if among the trillions of government spending, a few billions actually go to fund enterprises for the improvement to the quality of life, and to sustain life in the solar system, then said libertarian and non-libertarians should be all in favor of supporting it.

Ripping people off? How so?

Most of PayPal's profit in the early days with Musk came from closing accounts with no explanation and pocketing the balance, knowing small time people couldn't afford to sue. It was pretty widely reported at the time, and since they weren't a bank nobody could do anything.

You don't even math. Stick to comics, maybe you can manage that.

Wow this tweeter is bringing up prejudiced and strategically misleading articles from the stone age. Maybe this person’s next comeback will be an article from the 60’s where doctors were prescribing cigarettes for stress-relief!

If the govt didn't like the deal, they wouldn't have made it. Govt wants a space programme, SpaceX provides it cheaper than govt can. Care to show proof for alleged theft? You write good comics, but it's time to quit this vile BS.

That half a billion was a loan and it has been re-paid by Tesla. You should double check your sources.
