And those loans have done exactly what they were meant to do.. Jump start new industries.

musk has pretty much created the electric car market. A market which was left abandoned by every other car manufacturer in the industry. Now they are all investing in it because of Telsa.

Added to this there are now spin off industries which he is pushing hard, like reducing the cost of lithium batteries much faster than what the industry expected.. This is because of Musk and Telsa.

Then there is the entire Spacex thing..

You act as if the govt funding to him was a bad thing.. Meanwhile oil and gas companies get billions of our tax dollars..
