I’d say the guy that stands to benefit most is the richest man in the world. Without government support, Tesla doesn’t survive the early years as it was in a net loss position for nearly a decade.

He's doing all of this with zero oversight too....remember all the watch dogs they conveniently fired

The way I've heard it from the MAGA crowd is that they are OK with "The Swamp" if it's "their" swamp and they are OK with corruption as long as the people doing it are open and honest about it....which they are.

What the hell do you mean unelected?

We elected Trump and he instructed his Treasury Sec to give access. That is how it works.

Or were you part of some super secret special election to elect David Lebryk?

What do you mean? He’s looking at a system that hasn’t denied a payment in decades. They didn’t give a shite about oversight last week. And you don’t now. It’s just a political talking point to fight a political fight.

What? He got the key from someone that also wasn't elected.

Yeah, having an unelected....really unapproved, unofficial consultant/advisor having access to sensitive information could present problems. At this point he's anaccountable except to maybe Trump. But he bought Trump, so.....

If he abuses the system, he could lose all government contracts. I think he’s got plenty at stake. Certainly more than some desk jockey who pretended he had the keys to the atomic football.

I know about the campaign contributions, I was meaning money sent directly to Trump for personal wealth. What do you think or expecting Elon to gain off this? What has he done that’s corrupt so far as another poster said? Fwiw, I think the Elon interview with Trump helped but Trump was gonna win the election with or without Elon. Trump won because the D party is a mess

Gosh, you've got the hypocrisy nailed bother! Similarly, replace Trump with Hitler, and this board would also be screaming, despite 'enlightened' contention from your circles Trump and Hitler are "literally" the same.

It's so cute watching the statist totalitarians try to paint others as authoritarian when those other's aim is to reduce the size and scope of the federal government.
