Because he is the real life Tony Stark
Because he is bringing new things to society. Instead of just trying to figure out how to squeeze wealth out of the consumer pool.
when will he release whatever magic he used to completely reverse and stop his balding?

All of Elon Musk’s businesses are FUNDED BY THE TAX PAYERS.. aka YOU!
That evil motherfucker is a the biggest welfare queen in the world! He became billionaire by getting tax handouts from government.
Fuck him!
> Elon Musk's growing empire is fueled by $4.9 billion in government subsidies
>Los Angeles entrepreneur Elon Musk has built a multibillion-dollar fortune running companies that make electric cars, sell solar panels and launch rockets into space.
>And he's built those companies with the help of billions in government subsidies.
>"He definitely goes where there is government money," said Dan Dolev, an analyst at Jefferies Equity Research. "That's a great strategy, but the government will cut you off one day."

He's a really hard working guy. Everybody needs capital, but it will pay for itself for sure, even within the next 3 years.
>>8133308
He is making the money back by exporting cars and selling launches to foreign companies.

bait but more than 50% of SpaceX launches are private and Tesla is still competitive without subsidies - however literally any other car company can claim the same subsidies if they do green stuff. Government and my taxes contribute, but not necessary for his success.
However all of his companies (and many others) are built upon massive amounts of public R&D, which I'm more than happy to contribute as the whole point is to create new technologies and new markets like Elon is doing. I wish we invested more.

They paid back what they borrowed like 3 years ago.
This is like saying GM and Chevrolet are funded by the tax payers. You're dumb.

All of Tesla's patents are free for competing companies or even random joes in garages to use too, if they please. It's all open source.
