Elon Musk Furious That the Government Isn't Giving Him More Free Money

The US government isn't giving one of Musk's companies a grant after years of subsidies.

The Musk company is appealing the FCC's decision to block the broadband grant.

It's unlikely that the appeal will succeed, but it could be the beginning of a lawsuit against the government for not giving Musk hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars.

In the past Musk has opposed government subsidies.

He said last year that he would like to get rid of all subsidies.

Billions of dollars in US government funding have been given to Musk's companies.

For the better part of a decade, large-figure subsidies have been reported around the companies of the Telsa CEO. In 2015, the Los Angeles Times reported that various federal agencies had given $5 billion to three companies.

According to an analysis published in April of this year by Grid News, the sale of regulatory tax credits could have resulted in the company appearing more profitable than it really is.

Musk is anti-subsidy in public. It was curious.

He was against the plan to boost the electric vehicle industry.

The government would not be so open to Musk eventually according to one financial expert.

Dan Dolev, an analyst with Jeffries Equity Research, told the LA Times that he went where there was government money. The government will cut you off one day.

The latest news from the FCC seems to suggest that might be happening.

Starlink is appealing the FCC's rejection of its grant.

Musk had to prove he was not a drug addiction after smoking weed.
