More typical anti-trump propaganda. Tesla is a private company. Trump supports free market and private business. He even went as far to say he wants to improve our efforts in space.
This is also from the Washington Post. The mainstream media has zero credibility at this point.

He sought a residential tax abatement for Trump Tower, an abatement designed for low- and middle-income housing (NYT, 8/6/1983), and an abatement for another luxury tower, Trump Palace, and for Trump International Hotel (NYT 7/17/94). He sought a $356 million low-interest loan from the federal government for the West Side Yards, received a $34 million tax abatement in Florida, and had the assessed value of a Las Vegas property lowered from $180 million to $8.6 million (LA Times, 5/11/2011).
- merc285 10y agoplease explain to me how this has anything to do with tesla
- saretired 10y agoWell, if you read the article, it mentions the tax breaks that Tesla buyers get, and that the "future of these tax credits may come into question based on Trump's opposition to the government picking winners and losers." How is constantly seeking government hand-outs capitalism? How is taking those hand-outs not allowing the government to pick winners and losers?
- nostromo 10y agoI'm shocked that a businessperson would take the tax breaks and cheap loans provided to them.
