Recent Notes
But Teslas sell whether they're subsidized or not. Anyway, no point in ping-ponging back and forth on the same point. Nice talking to you! :-)
Another final remark: all the famous AI tools are heavily subsidized as well. If people have to pay the actual price for their LLM inference I hardly doubt it will be as popular as right now. Instead ofsubscriptions OpenAI, Anthropic, etc have to move to token based pricing or will go bust...

As a clsoing remark: Teslas would definitely not have sold for their 'true price' at the same scale. If Tesla was supposed to be a profitable business on its own, cars had to double or triple in price.
Who is subsidizing mortgages? Why haven't I been told?
A mortgage dilutes the 'money' supply. Whoever is holding fiat is losing purchasing power at the expense of the new home 'owners'. Cantillon effect at its finest...
People keep buying Teslas long after the subsidies subside. (I don't want one, I just recognize the genius it took to create them).
As far as I understand Tesla still receives carbon credits and in many jurisdictions electric cars are stillsubsidizedd and/or receive beneficial tax treatment.
⚡️🇪🇺 NEW - The European Union is set to ban anonymous crypto accounts and require the removal of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies starting in 2027...

"Money laundering" lol. Just trying to close the exits

People are loving their Teslas worldwide.
If you give me unlimited tax payer money I can make a nice car as well. Also, people without a Tesla paying for people with a Tesla, just like people without a mortgage are subsidizing the people with a mortgage.
The state supported zip2 and paypal? If the state supported Tesla, that was a looong 4 years for biden to be in office and do nothing about it...
Tesla did not make a profit for its first 10 years or so. Tesla was completely living of of carboncredits given to them for free and being sold to other companies. Also, electrical driving was/is heavily incentivised and subsidized for the consumer. Tesla in a free market was DOA.
By the way, similar thing is happening to SpaceX right now.

Truly amazing what #elonmusk has achieved. Incredible string of wildly successful companies.
Wildly succesfull due to state intervention, yes. Not because the companies in itself would actually produce anything a consumer would like to pay for at the actual price it needs to be priced at for the company to be profitable. Parasitic, rent seeking behaviour...
Again, well written! I do see the stock prices rise initially due to hype and fomo.
But music cannot be shared as an idea. It can be demonstrated/performed.
If my idea has costs associated in order to be able to share it, and I don't receive any value in return then I stop sharing my...
- Maybe the closest thing to represent the idea of music are musical notes, but I agree that the implementation of it could still be more diverse than other ideas that could be described amd sharded.
- It depends on the motive for making music. If it's only done to make money, I think you are right. However, if it's done to express your intrinsic creativity, itch your own scratch or establish your talents for a greater public, I doubt if you would stop even if it has costs associated to it. Many artists these days (writers/musicians/painters, etc) establish themselves through their craft and monetize it indirectly through concerts/workshops/public speaking, etc.
- A good concrete analogous example are open source software developers. Or, imagine the inventor of fire/wheel/electricity/etc to artificially restrict its access...
- Lastly, I personally think it's a good thing to support and I am willing to pay creative, productive people and great implementations of ideas...

Music that gets released isn't just an idea. It's the product of labour. Other than the hours spent it is very expensive to pay for studio time, engineers, mixing mastering, artwork, etc, etc. Because...
Agreed! That doesn't invalidate my points though...
