The worm is turning on the woke culture.

Here’s the entire interview.

Great line:

“Wokeness wants to make comedy illegal,” Musk continued, adding “Do we want a humorless society that is simply rife with condemnation, and hate? At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be cruel, armored in false virtue.”

How cool would it be if Tesla paid back 50% of the subsidy money it received from the federal government?  I mean, the taxpayers got the rest (mostly rich, white, executive class Tesla drivers, but who’s keeping score).  At the current valuation, they could do a secondary offering and just give the money back to the government.  That would shut Warren up, wouldn’t it?

I mean, the subsidies–at this point–are a small fraction of Tesla’s valuation.  Even if Tesla reserved stock options for the government, it would be the ultimate “back atcha.”

That’s not to mention that Musk will pay more in taxes this year than the dollar value of all the subsidies received by tesla to date (I think that number is south of $10 billion and he will pay $11 billion or so based on a quick google).

In a way, the government is getting a HUGE ROI on Tesla’s share price when you factor in all capital gains taxes (musks plus yours and mine), and likely an even better one on the technology portfolio and “push” that Tesla has made in the automotive industry.
