    They didn’t give it they lent it, along with billions of dollars to other automakers:

    The Obama Administration will lend Tesla Motors $465 million to build an electric sedan and the battery packs needed to propel it

    …

    Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced that the Department of Energy is also lending $5.9 billion to Ford to retool factories in five states. Nissan will receive $1.6 billion to refurbish a factory in Tennessee to produce electric cars.

    The loan was paid back 9 years early in 2013.

        Someone roleplaying and pretending to be Musk is definitely an account to add to the block list.

      Yeah he was cool when he was giving me money.

      Now everyone forgot about that “long form birth certificate”. Better send him back to Africa.
