Elon Musk: I’m Paying $11 Billion in Taxes This Year

The issue is subsidies, not who gets picked as winners or losers.
You said he wouldn't be successful without them...I am asking then why arne't all the other companies that get them not successful.
 
That's a direct tax, and thus has to be apportioned among the states population....there is a Constitutional issue in other words with such a tax

There is no issue with enacting that tax.

He made something people actually wanted and good on him.
 
It is the only reason. Critical thinking is not your strong point. Without the billions pumped by the government there isn't even enough "money" (fake or not) to create the "wealth" the programs have created.

But again, you know this.
A quick search finds Musk’s companies have received between 2-3 Billion in subsidies. His companies are worth $188 BILLION, and you claim all that is ONLY because of those subsidies.

That is a 75X value. Solyndra should be worth about $33 BILLION right now if ONLY subsidies work. Instead, they are bankrupt. You are a moron.

Oh, and Musk is paying 3X his subsidies in income taxes just this year. That isn’t counting the income taxes for his tens of thousands of employees.

Leftards hate subsidies for green technology.
 
I never argued he would be worth nothing. It's arguable he could have built what he has without the billions from the taxpayers.

But you defend your socialism and others will defend theirs.
I’m not defending anything. Never supported subsidies. I’m just presenting facts as they are while you are spewing bullshit lies.

His companies are worth what they are worth because of the massive infusions in the markets by the Federal Reserve. Without that and other subsidies his companies are not worth what they are worth.

They have been pumping billions for years.

Your story is changing, you are now claiming he could have built his companies without subsidies, and before you said they existed ONLY because of subsidies.

What a fuckwit you are.

They are only worth what they are worth because of subsidies. I then argued one could argue that he might not even been able to get them off the ground without them but that is a different discussion.
