If you even read the article you linked, you'd be aware the source of the money there is from other vehicle manufacturers to Tesla not from govt/tax payers.

Perhaps you are confused, the regulatory credits were sold by Tesla to other car makers so they could meet their emissions requirements. That $11 billion came from other automakers, not taxpayers.

No I hate disinformation that makes people on my side look uninformed and stupid.

On a deeper level, I hate bandwagons because they are invariably full of idiotic parrots.

Elon has done a enough demonstrably stupid and bad shit that we don't need to play deception to drum up resistance. Especially when that deception plays on "government subsides in the green sector have been a colossal waste of money".

I call this the 12 fingered hitler, frequently seen on reddit.

It goes like this:

Person A makes up some unsupported fact about a despised figure. For example, "Hitler had 12 fingers".

Person B comes in and says "I think Hitler just had 10 fingers like normal"

And then person A or some other person responds "holy shit dude, I can't believe you're defending Hitler!"
