This reminds me of a similar scandal around Evergreen Solar in Massachusetts, though in that case, it was "only" tens of millions of dollars. Rhode Island piss

This reminds me of a similar scandal around Evergreen Solar in Massachusetts, though in that case, it was "only" tens of millions of dollars. Rhode Island pissed $75M into the wind with Kurt Shilling to move his supposed "game studio" from Massachusetts. NY getting fleeced out of a billion dollars (enough to buy an electric bicycle for one eighth of NYC's entire population) is truly spectacular. Just for the sake of comparison, that's half the entire state budget for health services. But hey, what's another billion on top of tens of billions in handouts and zero-interest loans and subsidies and tax credits Musk has been given by US governments? https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-list-government-subsidies-tesla-billions-spacex-solarcity-2021-12 https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-list-government-su... https://www.grid.news/story/technology/2022/04/30/elon-musk-hates-the-government-his-companies-love-it/ https://www.grid.news/story/technology/2022/04/30/elon-musk-...
