Tesla got billions in subsidies to get started. Now that they are established, Musk wants to make sure no competitor can get started.
how does the co-president feel about this?
- Whose idea do you think it was? Elon got to take advantage of the program to get established and now no one can. Classic ladder pull
- Musk doesn’t want the subsidies. He argues legacy OEMs are only competitive with his EVs with the subsidies, so he’ll be able to sell more without the subsidies than he does now.
  We do see lagging Tesla sales year over year, so there is probably some truth to this argument
