I don't have information to validate or dispute this but the argument a co-worker of mine always makes is that Tesla (and Musk) are 'propped up' by government money and never should have made it this far. I would be interested to get your take on this assessment.

In his Mars colonization plan announcement he himself said that the majority of money is going to come from the government (if I'm remembering right). In many ways Musk is a salesman for a certain vision that a lot of people seem to be buying in to right now. Some might even call this leadership.
