Somehow Boeing getting billions is not sexy enough to discuss on the internet, unless we can fit in “Musk” in the headline in some way.

- refulgentis 3y agoI don't think it's the case that discussing X means people are afraid to discuss Y. No cover up, bias, or suspicion needed to explain why that's not mentioned explicitly every time other companies are subsidized. :)
- mgiannopoulos 3y agoI didn’t say anything about people being afraid to discuss anything. But a search on this site for discussion on subsidies to other companies than Tesla would probably get much less results.
- dartos 3y agoI mean we need safe reliable planes more than we need teslas cars.
- ohthatsnotright 3y agoBoeing hasn't repeatedly shat on subsidies and said they're self-made while pocketing massive government benefits.
- olddustytrail 3y agoIt seems perfectly reasonable to me to want a subsidy abolished and also use it while it exists. Presumably they want it abolished for everyone not just themselves.
- mgiannopoulos 3y agoIf you compare these subsidies with the total revenues and profits of Tesla over the last 15 years, you should reach an interesting conclusion.
- starbase 3y agoI looked it up and $2.8B is just 3 weeks of the company's revenue. Or two months of their gross profit. Or 3 months of their net income. Remarkable.
