He will when Tesla-shell-company finally implodes from all the debt. I wonder how he's going to spin it though. Is he going to say it was complications with the merger? It was disloyal executives? Corporate espionage? How is he going to spin his failing ventures?

Not even /pol/, but (big) companies receive handouts for hiring "diverse" employees.

Besides the plentiful other subsidies the government hands out for damn near anything they thought of.

>(big) companies receive handouts for hiring "diverse" employees.
no, we just don't get sued if we hire diverse crews.

>plentiful other subsidies the government hands out for damn near anything
this is the correct answer. We don't pay federal taxes on much of anything purchased and used in business.

You're under his spell OP. We all are. It's like Tinkerbell or advertising (yes, it IS advertising), once you stop believing, it goes away.

He knows how to spin failure into something clickbait worthy. It's a trait prominent throughout Silicon Valley.

So, if I filed the paperwork necessary to form a small business, I can write stuff off that relates to the industry it's in (eg I start a tech startup that's really me shitposting half the day on 4Chan and write off a huge gaymer tower)?
