You are linking a story written in 2015 by website well known for a particular political agenda, which doesn't make it wrong.

Quote:
RT (formerly Russia Today) is a Russian state-controlled[1] international television network funded by the federal tax budget of the Russian government. It operates pay television channels directed to audiences outside of Russia, as well as providing Internet content in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Russian.
So if you want Putin's input on a topic, RT news is your website.

Maybe if you want to trash Musk, at least find a more recent record of his benefits received and value created. And maybe a source that is not Putin propaganda

On top of that you even got what the RT story says wrong. Your claim that he got 4.9 billion in Federal benefits is NOT what the story reports. The overwhelming number of tax breaks came from state and local governments. Putin source, and mislead on what was said.
