So please provide evidence how Tesla, SpaceX or Starlink have benefited from "a close relationship with state power".

You realize that prior to the latest election, the government generally was opposed to Elon Musk. He was investigated by the SEC, and attacked by politicians.

That sounds like the opposite of crony capitalism.

Maybe you should start with some evidence first? Honestly, it sounds like you just don't like him and you're mad that others do like him.






Moon mission 3bln grant awarded by government person in power that after awarding it promptly quit and went to work for Musk.

And who knows what happened around starlink and military.

Tons of subsidies for Tesla. Tax cuts. All of his companies benefit hugely from tax money yet people see him as incredible self made billionaire.
