Our roads, bridges, freeways, libraries...etc...are mostly built by private companies with our money. No big deal. The difference is that the government funded infrastructure provides a public benefit. The ROI is profitable for the taxpayer. We invest our taxes and in return the taxpayer gets benefits from it such as the infrastructure. The private companies profit. Good. They are providing a good service for the public. However, Tesla does nothing for the public. Nothing.  The taxpayer gets 0 ROI. Yet, Musk gets billions.
I hate to break it to you but there was indeed a lot of corruption back then as well when it came to private contractors and securing non-competitive bids. (1950s/1960s) Yes, we did receive a lot of benefits / returns as the public.

But anyway, that's kind of irrelevant. Musk, Bezos, Karp (Palantir Technologies), etc. are all in on the grift. If I had to name all of them it would take a very long time.  :rofl:
