Both sides look bad for me here. Musk for asking $655k of state money when he could obviously afford to foot such a bill on his own - just in April 2019 they raised half a billion, surely they could afford to spend 0.1% of that on "training funds" without milking the taxpayer. I understand that if the funds are available a savvy businessman would take them even if they don't need them - but that doesn't exactly elicit sympathy. And California, of course, by conditioning distribution of tax funds which should be equally available to every qualifying business on kowtowing to politicians and denying the funds if somebody dares to challenge their policies. That's not how these funds are supposed to work, if they serve any purpose it's not to give Newsom or his minions a leverage to shut up their opponents.
