Tesla given $60M by Obama admin when they were deep in debt and may have gone out of business.

so Tesla technically is subsidized by US govt. SpaceX too. Without NASA funding, they'd be long out of business.

China and US ain't that different.

China realizes that being a tech and industrial powerhouse working on future tech is great for their economy. They bet huge on it. That's how they win.

Europe on the other hand is now a laggard.
