    Stop the carbon credit. Tesla will not survive without it.

    NPR gets 4% of its funding from the federal government which is surely a lot smaller of a percentage than Musk

    NPR is public funded. Is this a real tweet? Is he that stupid?

      Not a joke- isn’t is augmented by “listeners like you” but “public” radio in that it’s tax payer funded?

        It’s hard to pin down an exact number from the various sources I could find, but consensus puts the number anywhere between 4% and 12% of NPR’s funding comes from federal (direct and indirect) sources.

        The vast majority of their funding comes from private donations

    I’d love to live in the Republican alternate reality where NPR actually gets a usable amount of money from the federal government

    This morning I was thinking that, given the way things are going - with Tesla sales falling hard in Europe and Musk positioning himself for his companies to completelly live of the US Government’s tit - Tesla cars are going to be America’s very own Lada: only existing because the state pays for it and you see them nowhere else.
