Elon Musk's fortune, which ultimately enabled his takeover of Twitter, has been padded by billions in subsidies and contracts paid for by American taxpayers.

Just in case anyone needed that reminder.

@rbreich so should he critised for making the EV market a real thing? For dramatically reducing the costs of launching into space? For making a global low cost (relativity) ISP? How much were existing space companies paid for disposable rocketry?
@pauldotm @rbreich are they also trashing the hand that fed them? Are they also platforming actual Nazis?
