Meh. I think he’s a smart guy who has accomplished some very interesting things. Legitimate criticism is fine, but yours don’t make sense. They’re irrational, so I can only assume that they’re based on some irrational hatred.
Look at what you’ve posted in this very thread. Talking about deductions that are available to everyone, when that statement is demonstrably false.

You said offered to everyone. Period.
Now you clarify that there is a stipulation and it’s not offered to everyone.
Which is it?

Teslas incentives are available to anyone who wants to produce electric cars so you're reasoning is incorrect at best.
Government credits for purchasing, yes. GOvernment money infused into his company, no.

And he called me a drama queen because I said he hates him. 
It’s clear that he does since he’s ignoring everything that goes against his narrative. It’s irrational.

There are tax breaks for families with children. If you have a child, you can take advantage of said tax breaks. There are tax breaks offered for carmakers who make electric cars. If you make electric cars, you can take advantage of said tax breaks. What's the difference?
And why are we ignoring that other automakers are getting way more subsidies than Tesla? That doesn't matter in people's opinions that Musk survives on subsidies?

Explain why not.
Please consider in your explanation that it happens quite literally daily.

That's offered to everyone with kids and is part of the tax code? Yep.
I guess I have a different tax code than you. Have you read the provision? The credit phases out.
You can’t even argue a point based on an understanding of the topic.
Like I said, irrational hatred.

Do you negotiate exemptions?

Then in May, the NTSB announced an investigation after two teenagers were killed in a Tesla Model S after its battery caught fire following a crash. A similar accident claimed a driver two months prior, with California firefighters reporting that the Tesla battery kept reigniting itself days after the smash.

You seem to be under the failed understanding this is the limit of Musks government funding.

I'll ask again, are you barred from doing so? I can't take the child tax credit because I don't have kids.

“Not even remotely similar but I won’t explain why.”
But it was a poor attempt and is getting laughed at, so there's that too.

But at any rate, changing the world kinda takes time, it's not something you do in 5 years.
No shite, did you see the part where I said the article was disingenuous?
Point being, Tesla gets more scrutiny over most other companies because of what their technology means to the world. That's just a fact whether it's warranted or not.

Tax credit =/= lower than market rate government loans
