Sorry for the political comment but every time I see Tesla financials I think “this company should’ve failed in 2014 but-for those subsidies and ill-conceived carbon credits.”
And the only reason most domestic airlines, car manufacturers, and some of the largest financial institutions still exist is because of multiple bailouts. It's not like Tesla is unique in being helped by the government.
Indeed. If the government makes a habit of bailing out all the failures, eventually the system will be dominated by failures because they never get cleaned out.
Still doesn't imply that bailing out failures was a good idea though.
