CNBC’s Andrew Sorkin to GM CEO Mary Barra: “It appears by my math that on average, Tesla employees, who are non-unionized, appears on an hourly basis may be making more money than unionized workers for example at GM.” @elonmusk

This is true. Also, Tesla employees get health insurance, stock & other benefits.

Wait a minute. So the only vehicle that qualifies for the $12,000 union subsidy is a Chevy Bolt?
The car that isn’t even on sale because of fires? So effectively, this subsidy applies to NO cars.
So we’ve all been arguing about a provision that does nothing. Classic politics

GM talking like they are the leader even tho it’s only 9% of the EV market. And I do believe the Bolt is not being produced anymore this year. @elonmusk
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Nov 27, 2021
Hypothetically, if they did make lots of electric cars, then they would be the leader

These tools are already dangerous in traditional markets. In the crypto market, which is vastly unregulated, the risks and unfairness are multiplied x100.
Again: it is playing Russian roulette against the guy who made the gun and knows exactly which chamber holds the bullet.

Tesla waives over € 1 billion in battery production subsidy for Giga Berlin. $TSLA
My take: Tesla won't take subsidies they don't need even if they could get them — It's all about accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy & integrity. 🙌

We learned our lesson with $465M DoE loan received in 2010/2011 – onerous terms exceed value of money received. That’s why we paid it back so early, despite an early repayment penalty.

That article was pushed as propaganda to counter IMF study showing fossil fuel subsidies to be $5 trillion/year. Even if $4.9B was true, combined market cap of Tesla & SpaceX is $80B. Where did the other $75B come from? Ass 🎩 …
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Nov 26, 2021
Combined Tesla+SpaceX market cap is now over $1.2T, which means “$4.9B” is less than 0.4% of combined company value

Tesla doesn't take advantage of a possible 1.1 B € government subsidy for the planned battery production in Grünheide.
This makes it clear that Tesla is by no means dependent on subsidies and can operate more independently.
I am pleased about that.
Elon Musk
@elonmusk · Nov 26, 2021
It has always been Tesla’s view that all subsidies should be eliminated, but that must include the massive subsidies for oil & gas.
For some reason, governments don’t want to do that …
