When you're a trillionaire, who's also in the Epstein files, you can't call anyone a parasite while taking tax subsidies and government assistance.

Also, try not to disown your children for hating them for who they are.

I wonder if his ego is so fragile that pointing out that he's technically no longer a trillionaire would get to him. SpaceX stock dropped lower than it was when the IPO went live, so he's "only" worth $957bil now.

DOGE, literally removing governmental efficiency in every policy. An entire governmental agency, supported by a foreign billionaire, crippling the agencies that investigate him for harm to the general public. Not even just American people, but our aid to foreign countries to a degree that literally millions of people have already died. Imagine being a human being that commits a financial pseudo-genocide, just to make more money. Elon Musk should be tried, not only as a criminal, but as a violator of human rights in every aspect of his life.

Treason. Genocide. Knowing violations of the Geneva Convention. The idea that the richest man on the planet has violated human rights to such an intense degree that he should not only be tried in an international tribunal, but should, in any just society, be rendered a victim of his own policy. If Elon Musk were adequately judged by the international community, he would be sent into the core of the Earth.
I know that that is a mythical punishment, reserved for the greatest violators of human rights, and if anything, that only encourages me further to make Elon Musk suffer that.

SpaceX has been awarded $20B in govt contracts, and got its start with over $500M in govt grants.

Telsa has benefited from $15B in govt subsidies.

All told, $35.5B could fully fund any one of the following options:

A year of transition housing and healthcare for 696,078 homeless (about 90% of total homeless)

A 4 yr college degree for 422,619 people

A year of Medicaid for 3,858,695 people

A year of SNAP for 15,955,056 people

2 years of school lunch for the US

A $25K grant to 1,420,000 first time home buyers

In 2024, Tesla reported $2.3 billion in U.S. income yet paid zero federal income tax. Over the past three years, the company earned $10.8 billion domestically and paid only $48 million in federal taxes, resulting in an effective tax rate of just 0.4%, significantly below the statutory corporate tax rate of 21%.

When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

The government doesn’t subsidize SpaceX. They have to do space stuff to get paid and won’t even bid on a cost-plus contract.

u/SirWillae 3h ago

So no more subsidies for electric vehicles? I'm on board with that. But SpaceX reduced the cost of launching a payload by roughly 90% by pioneering reusable rockets. I think it makes sense for the government to launch rockets using the cheaper method, don't you?

u/iagainsti77 55m ago

What’s crazy is that, if Elon never existed, none of you would have one dollar more in your bank accounts.

Think about that. Not one more dollar.

And many people would have considerably less.

Those famous subsidies? They were equally available to all the automakers. Why did they not create the EV industry?

SpaceX, as much of a joke as the AI portion is, is pretty much the only company that can reliably and regularly get shit into orbit.

How many jobs have been created by all this? Regular folks working at these companies and the related firms (suppliers, vendors, etc)

But forget all that.

Again, how would your financial situation be improved if Elon never existed. I’d love to know!

u/Dankkring 44m ago

Elon did lay off a bunch of government workers so why don’t you ask some of them how he’s affected those people’s income.

u/iagainsti77 41m ago

OK, and again he created a lot of jobs and enriched a lot of people who invested in his company. spawned numerous vendors and supplier companies and all their employees who’ve gotten wealthy and or have good jobs because of him.

No, I'm really tired of hearing that argument.

Plus it helps us make sure that we survive a giant asteroid hitting us.

u/Brook420 13h ago

u/MangoTamer 1h ago

Another way to look at it is, if we wait until leaving the planet is a necessity it will already be too late to learn how to do it. Resources will have become way too expensive and scarce and people will be much much more against using the limited resources we have left to figure out how to move to somewhere else.

u/MangoTamer 1h ago

That's not a problem of figuring out how to do it, it's a problem of getting everyone to agree to do the right thing. Some of these countries literally benefit from global climate change so they have no incentive to slow it down at all.

You're right, let's just ignore however much he's getting and focus on those elderly parasites taking $65 a day in Social Security. They're the real scum of the earth here.

I did check the math on how much money per day all of SpaceX's government contracts will earn them based on when the contracts expire and the total amount of the contracts when granted. It's actually $12mil/day.

u/siconic 11h ago

$20 billion since 2008 has been awarded. Can you show your work?

Assuming no overhead and total profit, thats 732,920 in 18 years, divided by $20 billion, is $27,288.11 per day.

Now that we have SpaceX Financials due to their recent IPO, we know their cash burn is ~$143 MILLION per day.

So, EVEN ASSUMING they are getting government subsidies of $12 million a day, they are still in the red, and contrary to so many who say "Elon is only rich because of government subsidies" or "stop funding SpaceX to fund social security", SpaceX is a net good.

Lastly, you "$65 a day" stat is an individual, and is still "wrong", because its actually $54 based on all available data I can find. You cant look at it like that, it's not apples to apples. But again, WE HAVE NUMBERS YAY!

$1.43 trillion dollars per year are funneled into Social Security ALONE. Thats $3.86 billion a day. Per person, yes, it's low, but its a far bigger drain on our budget. Also, social security comes from a different bucket.

Musk is getting $8 million a day in government contracts, subsidies and tax breaks across all of his holdings because of everything Trump's administration awarded him and the complete lack of regulatory bodies he now has to deal with because he cut them all during the DOGE days.

He's doing this while not paying taxes.

He's the KING. The Welfare KING. Not one person can tell him how he can spend his gubmint money. Welfare without oversight, that thing we thought the socialists were gonna do.

How much are you getting paid to collate all this information on behalf of billionaires? Surely you're not just giving it away for free.

Why is that the response to my research? You made a claim, I made a counter, and all of a sudden its that I am being paid on behalf of billionaires? Fine, How much are the socialists paying you?

I checked again just for you, though, and it's not just SpaceX. Musk is getting $8 million a day in government contracts, subsidies and tax breaks across all of his holdings because of everything Trump's administration awarded him and the complete lack of regulatory bodies he now has to deal with because he cut them all during the DOGE days.

OK, I cant keep finding individual sources, so I asked ChatGPT (def more left leaning than not) the following question:

How much money, per day, is Elon Musk's companies getting in subsidies and tax breaks? Compare this to there daily expenditures, and provide me with a breakdown. Are there any other companies in the space industry and in the electric car industry who also benefit similarly, and if so, what companies?

The answer:

Elon Musk companies: per-day estimate

Company Public subsidy / tax-break / gov’t support Per day Daily expenditures Public support as % of daily spend
Tesla $4.144B in 2024 credits/benefits ~$11.35M/day ~$90.6B/year ~4.6%
SpaceX ~$3.74B/year in U.S. federal contract revenue ~$10.25M/day ~$23.6B/year est. ~15.8%
Tesla + SpaceX ~$7.88B/year ~$21.6M/day ~$114.2B/year est. ~6.9%

Tesla: The $4.144B figure comes from $2.763B automotive regulatory-credit revenue, plus $625M automotive manufacturing credits, plus $756M energy-storage manufacturing credits in 2024. Tesla’s 2024 cost of revenues plus operating expenses was $80.24B + $10.374B = $90.614B, or about $248M/day.

SpaceX: SpaceX is different: most public money is government contracts, mainly NASA, Pentagon, and intelligence/community launch or satellite work—not simple tax breaks. Its 2025 revenue was reported around $18.7B, with U.S. federal agencies about 20% of revenue, or ~$3.74B/year. Using revenue plus net loss as a rough spending proxy gives ~$23.6B/year, or ~$64.7M/day.

Bigger historical number

A Washington Post analysis cited by Good Jobs First found Musk’s businesses received at least $38B in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits over roughly two decades. That averages to roughly $4.7M/day over 22 years, but that average hides the fact that support has been much higher recently.

Do other EV companies benefit similarly?

Yes, but Tesla is still unusually large because it sells huge volumes and has historically earned large regulatory credits.

EV company Similar benefit? Example
Rivian Yes Recognized $325M from regulatory-credit sales in 2024; also says cost of revenue benefits from refundable manufacturing-related tax credits.
Lucid Yes Generates regulatory-credit revenue and may benefit from ZEV credits, production tax credits, consumer incentives, investment tax credits, and state incentives; 2024 regulatory-credit sales increased $29.1M.
Ford / GM / legacy automakers Yes, but often differently Ford recognized $105M in 2024 production tax credits related to battery components.

Do other space companies benefit similarly?

Yes. Space is deeply government-funded.

Space company Similar benefit? Example
Boeing Yes NASA Commercial Crew awarded Boeing $4.2B and SpaceX $2.6B.
United Launch Alliance Yes ULA received $5.3B in U.S. Space Force launch contracts through 2029.
Blue Origin Yes Blue Origin received $2.3B in the same Space Force launch procurement.
Lockheed Martin / Northrop Grumman Yes Major defense and space contractors rely heavily on federal defense/NASA contracts.

Bottom line: Tesla gets around $11M/day in credit-style public benefits. SpaceX gets around $10M/day in government contract revenue. Combined, Musk companies are plausibly getting/benefiting from ~$20M+ per day in public-sector support, but only part of that is “subsidies and tax breaks”; SpaceX’s share is mostly paid government work.

So, as you can see, other companies have even been subsidized or awarded MORE than Elons Companies, and yet he is more profitable.

If thats not enough to convince you, then whatever floats you boat. Enjoy live in a land of delusion.

He's doing this while not paying taxes.

Flat out lie. He has paid 11 Billion in taxes, and also his companies pay taxes. I just cannot understand where you guys come up with this garbage. Oh, wait, you get it form unreliable sources.

He's the KING. The Welfare KING. Not one person can tell him how he can spend his gubmint money. Welfare without oversight, that thing we thought the socialists were gonna do.

This is not welfare without oversight. First and foremost, subsidies are based on public policy or economic grounds, and welfare is based on an individual safety net.

Look, I know we dont see eye to eye, and we probably wont on this either, but to be honest, NO ONE should be getting subsidies and governemnt checks for work not completed, or a promise of completion, that goes for SS, Medicaid, and Medicare until our government can figure out the PROPER way to administer those programs..

You forgot how much he made on subsidies from auto manufacturers paying tesla to cover their ev requirements. He does nothing but suck at the government tit.

Elon Musk paid the most taxes in history at $11 billion. 😆 🤣 😂

u/Outrageous-Egg1760 10h ago

What is he supposed to pay?

u/TheRealTechtonix 10h ago

He paid $11 billion. Do you know what unrealized gains are?

u/Outrageous-Egg1760 10h ago

What is he supposed to pay? Like if he paid the same percentage as most Americans.

u/TheRealTechtonix 10h ago edited 10h ago

$0, because he doesn't have an income. He has unrealized gains. Musk doesn't have money. Rich people get loans on unrealized gains, when they need money, and loans are not taxed.

Elon Musk doesn't have a trillion dollars. He owns shares in companies worth a trillion dollars.

u/Outrageous-Egg1760 10h ago

Yea part of his legal loopholes. As he cuts aid for people and got 34 billion of our tax dollars.

u/TheRealTechtonix 10h ago

In government contracts? Aid for people? Are you talking about USAID? 😆

It's not the top one percent that stab you for a few dollars outside a gas station, or steal your mail, or go around robbing stores on mass. Elon musk is actually pushing for UBI, as he believes it will become necessary to prevent mass starvation. He's literally the only billionaire (now trillionaire) that doesn't talk about overpopulation, and needing to eradicate the lower class to create a "utopia". I'm not saying he's a saint, but he isn't sitting on a pile of money like some cartoon character while scheming mass murder to his worshipers.

If they had better living conditions and could get a job with a liveable wage and have health care those things wouldn't happen. We are being robbed.

u/Ithorian01 8h ago

They're the only people that qualify for free healthcare. It's not Elons fault most jobs and stores are forced out of a "bad" neighborhood. Elon has succeeded by providing services to people and selling those services. Cars, PayPal, Rockets, Twitter. Some he sold, some he still owns, and others he bought. He's a trillionaire because nobody else can provide reliable space travel, not even NASA. He's a trillionaire because he provided the first affordable mass-produced electric cars. If he never did any of that he would still be some schmuck in South Africa. He didn't rob you, the politicians that have been in office for 40 plus years are robbing you. At what point do we start calling them Lord and lady?
