This appears to be one of the biggest crimes in modern history. For context, if the FTC's investigation is accurate, this single crime costs people at least 10 times the amount of all property crime combined according to the FBI.

Exclusive: Over the years, Elon Musk and his businesses have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits, a Post analysis has found, helping seed the growth that has made him the world’s richest person. wapo.st/4k8R6h7

Elon Musk is one of the biggest recipients of government aid. Nearly two-thirds of Musk's $38 billion in government funding has been promised to his businesses just in the past five years, the story notes. And Musk's $38 billion in government support is surely an under-count.

Great reporting, with help from Good Jobs First's Subsidy Tracker database. I'm gifting this article, please RT! wapo.st/41uIOJ4

The "free money" states are giving to Amazon isn't really free -- it comes at the expense of public services like school budgets.

Fascinating times in Michigan, where MAGA Republican Steve Carra and progressive Democrat Dylan Wegela are building a bipartisan coalition to drain the state's corporate welfare swamp - and they're off to a great start with this anti-NDA bill. michiganadvance.com/2025/02/25/mic…

Sadly this podcast I did with Good Jobs First founder Greg LeRoy about how Amazon and Bezos’s wealth was built on draining the public coffers is still deeply relevant. Click link and scroll down till you see the episode: progressivecity.net/podcast

Amazon recently received one of its biggest-ever subsidies: $4.3 billion for a data center in Indiana. Here's what St. Joseph County Council's Amy Drake said before she cast one of two lone "no" votes: youtube.com/watch?t=4326&v…

One of Elon Musk's subsidies was for X in the thriving Atlanta area. In exchange for $10 million, he promised 24 "retained" jobs. wsbtv.com/news/local/atl…
