5 years ago, Dallas politicians shut down a car wash because of crime in the neighborhood.
Now Texas passed a law saying owners like Dale Davenport must be paid when cities shut down their business.
It would be better if they didn’t close businesses to begin with!

You are a charlatan.
Tesla did receive a $465 million loan in January 2010 from the Department of Energy (DOE).
But what you fail to mention is that they repaid the FULL principal plus interest 9 years early in 2013, making Tesla the only U.S. auto manufacturer to repay such a loan in full.
As for SpaceX, NASA gave SpaceX and Boeing $2.6 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively in “competing fixed-price contracts.” NASA needed spacecraft to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Instead of having the government build it, NASA hired two private companies to. SpaceX delivered a certified system, but Boeing still hasn’t.
Buying a service from the private sector is not welfare, and a repaid government loan is most certainly not a handout.
Try again, squirt box.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The image misleadingly equates Tesla's repaid DOE loan, regulatory credit sales to other automakers, state incentives, and SpaceX service contracts as equivalent ongoing "public support."
Tesla fully repaid its $465M loan with interest nine years early in 2013.

When @ElonMusk makes a trillion dollars, people think it means the rest of us have a trillion less.
"That's simply not true," says business ethics professor @cafreiman.

Got to hand it to Bill Maher. We may not agree on everything but thank God he is calling out the insanity. That takes moral courage & principles. And deserves respect.

Elon nailed the double standard.
If we shipped 100,000 Americans to Greenland, elected an American prime minister, and voted the place into the U.S., the left would lose their minds. Do that to Europe through mass immigration and they call it progress.
Same playbook here. Import the votes. Change the country. Then act shocked when the natives notice.
Europe is the warning. November is the off-ramp.
Vote Republican. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
