Oh course it is. Tesla was a unprofitable heap until Musk got the same loans GM, Chrysler, and Ford got when Barry was handing out money with strings attached to close dealerships ran by Republican voters/donors. But the one thing you can say about Musk is he PAID THE MONEY BACK. GM never did and Chrysler -> Fiat -> Stellantis never have either. Ford paid back theirs but they never needed it and just took it to work the market and make back returns they offshored to avoid taxes. It's the American Way.
