Elon Musk’s growing empire is fueled by $4.9 billion in government subsidies

Tesla Motors Inc., SolarCity Corp. and Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, together have benefited from an estimated $4.9 billion in government support, according to data compiled by The Times. The figure underscores a common theme running through his emerging empire: a public-private financing model underpinning long-shot start-ups.

 

“He definitely goes where there is government money,” said Dan Dolev, an analyst at Jefferies Equity Research. “That’s a great strategy, but the government will cut you off one day.”

 

The figure compiled by The Times comprises a variety of government incentives, including grants, tax breaks, factory construction, discounted loans and environmental credits that Tesla can sell. It also includes tax credits and rebates to buyers of solar panels and electric cars.

“Government support is a theme of all three of these companies, and without it none of them would be around,” said Mark Spiegel, a hedge fund manager for Stanphyl Capital Partners who is shorting Tesla’s stock, a bet that pays off if Tesla shares fall.

Elon Musk shares details about Tesla’s mRNA microfactories for CureVac

Musk discussed Tesla’s partnership with CureVac in July 2020 and shared his thoughts about the potential of synthetic RNA and DNA. At the time, Musk referred to diseases as a “software problem.” With that perspective, Tesla seems more than capable of developing technology to manufacture mRNA vaccines at scale. Musk visited CureVac’s headquarters in Tübingen, Germany in September to discuss Tesla subsidiary Grohmann Automation’s contribution to the development of CureVac’s mRNA COVID vaccine.

 

mRNA vaccines are easier to produce and scale compared to traditional ones. Tesla’s RNA Bioreactor will come into play during the production stage of CureVac’s COVID vaccine, once it is approved. Due to the scalability of mRNA vaccines, Tesla’s RNA Bioreactor might play a key role in making CureVac’s COVID vaccine easily accessible to the public.

 

Last week, CureVac reported positive results in Phase 1 of its COVID vaccine candidate. “We are very encouraged by the interim Phase 1 data. It represents a critical milestone in our COVID-19 vaccine program and strongly supports the advancement of our vaccine candidate,” said Dr. Franz-Werner Haas, Chief Executive Officer of CureVac.

 

a festivus coincidence to be at the forefront of gov't subsidies

and then the possibility of being at the door to produce mRNA vaccines through a subsidiary
