A quotation from Will Rogers

The trouble with the farmer up to now has been that every time somebody has thought of relief for him it has been to make it so he could borrow more money. That’s what’s the matter with him now. What he needs is some way to pay back. Not some way to borrow more.

When #Tesla realized it was missing a crucial EPA certification it needed to qualify for the #loan days before Christmas, #Musk went straight to the top, urging then-EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to intervene, acc/to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of #retribution.

Nearly ⅔ of the $38B in funds have been promised to Musk’s businesses in the past 5yrs.

In 2024 alone, federal & local govts committed at least $6.3B to Musk’s companies, the highest total to date.

Over the years, #Musk & his businesses have received AT LEAST $38B in US govt contracts, loans, subsidies & tax credits, often at critical moments,…helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person.

The payments stretch back >20yrs. Shortly after becoming CEO of a cash-strapped #Tesla in 2008, #ElonMusk fought hard to secure a low-interest #loan from the #Energy Dept,…holding daily briefings w/company execs about paperwork & spending hours w/a govt loan officer.

The memo…also calls for each agency to perform a “comprehensive analysis” to ensure its #grant & #loan programs are consistent w/ #Trump’s #ExecutiveOrders, which aimed to ban federal #diversity, #equity & #inclusion initiatives, & limit #CleanEnergy spending, among other measures.

…The document says programs affected are “including, but not limited to, #FinancialAssistance for #ForeignAid, nongovernmental organizations, #DEI, woke gender ideology, & the green new deal.”

Exeter, one of the largest auto lenders in the U.S. and a CarMax partner, specializes in high-interest subprime loans.

“We’re here to help,” reads its website. In reality, Exeter’s practices often do the opposite.
