Musk has certainly profited from Fiat policies 💯, the fortune he has is a joke and will only ever exist in a Fiat world. Some of his projects would certainly not exist without Fiat subsidies. But everything is not so simple. Some of his work did improve the state of the art immensely. For Space and for vehicles.

Arguing EVs are "uninventing" the automobile is also just the No True Scotsman fallacy, writ large.

The internet was developed as a U.S. military project originally, and then further developed by taxpayer-funded universities, and the web was created by a guy on the taxpayer's dime -- Tim Berners-Lee -- at CERN.

Arguing a product is only legitimate if it comes about by purely private market forces is the height of ideological nonsense.
