»»Elon Musk技術,也在很大程度上由政府資助byarchywordys在最近幾周沒有評論,那些對任何形式的政府在經濟中財政援助鼓掌Twitter所有者決定減少媒體如英國廣播公司(BBC)或CBC“政府資助的媒體”這個詞。政府”。但是Elon Musk說,當涉及到自己的企業?已經在2015年,《洛杉磯時報》的一項調查估計,特斯拉,SpaceX和太陽城,還擁有的億萬富翁,已經收到了49億美元以來,各種形式的政府援助他們的《盜夢空間》。和已經成倍增加。計算僅授予,SpaceX公司收到了560萬美元,據補貼追蹤數據庫,跟蹤超過1000美國聯邦政府的資助項目,所有50個州和許多城市。該工具是由一群,好工作首先,反對對大公司的補貼。但也有政府合同,這邊的數據增加很快。SpaceX公司已收到超過150億美元在過去的15年,主要來自美國國家航空航天局和國防部,發射衛星,最近,發送宇航員到空間站。事實上,早在2016年,來自雜誌Ars Technica的報告得出的結論是,如果美國航天局沒有支持八年前年輕的公司,它將會關閉。 This is how the Falcon 9 rocket and the Dragon capsule — the habitable part of the rocket — were developed thanks to a partnership with NASA: the latter wanted to free itself from its dependence on Russian rockets to send its astronauts to the space station. At the same time, it left SpaceX the possibility of using the rocket to offer private companies the putting into orbit of their satellites, and this for less than the competition. Le magazines Business Insider also reports the existence, in 2020, of two contracts for future US military satellite launches, totaling $653 million. More recently, in April 2021, NASA chose SpaceX for the development of the manned spacecraft that will land on the lunar surface – a $2.9 billion contract. It is this machine which should, in theory, allow the Artemis 3 mission, in 2025, the first manned lunar mission in 50 years. SpaceX’s competitor, billionaire Jeff Bezos’ company Blue Origin, was also in the running for this contract. Finally, SpaceX received $15 million in subsidies from the State of Texas to build its space center there – the one from which the first test launch of the future giant rocket took place on April 20, 2023. Authorities, local media reported, had even added legal protection against noise complaints from residents to the deal. In other words, SpaceX receives a lot more help from the government than public radio NPR, the magazine quipped on April 13. Quartz — an allusion to the fact that US public radio that week briefly inherited the “government-funded media” label on Twitter. While the state financial aid of $ 3 million, in 2022, represented only 1% of its income. Subsidies also for Tesla While Tesla doesn’t have access to such high-paying government contracts, it has nonetheless benefited from generous subsidies, totaling $2.8 billion, mostly since 2014, according to Subsidy Tracker. It has thus benefited from various assistance programs created to accelerate the electrification of transport, including tax credits for buyers of electric cars. Tesla could also take advantage of the new US inflation law (Inflation Reduction Act) which provides, among other things, tax reductions for companies that repatriate the manufacture of batteries to the United States. Business Insider also reported in 2020 that the State of Nevada had granted Tesla, in 2014, tax credits and “other incentives” worth $ 1.3 billion, for the construction of a factory. Finally, Tesla was entitled to the assistance that the federal government offered to companies to help them get through the pandemic, at the same time as Elon Musk recommended that this assistance be ended. And for SolarCity In 2016, the State of New York had invested $750 million, out of the $900 million that the future SolarCity solar panel manufacturing plant in Buffalo was to cost. SolarCity was already in close relationship with Tesla, and would be acquired by the latter the same year. In 2015, reported the Los Angeles TimesSolarCity had received federal subsidies of nearly $500 million, also for this future plant. Against subsidies Part of the reason so many people are watching these handouts closely is because Elon Musk himself… opposed the handouts. In December 2021 for example, as part of an event organized by the Wall Street Journal, he called on the US government to “get rid of all subsidies”. “Just eliminate them. »
