FALSE. Boeing is the leading recipient in comprehensive modern tracking of direct subsidies, grants, tax credits, and related aid listed in the "Subsidy Tracker" database.
Boeing — $15.5B
Intel — $8.4B
Ford Motor — $7.7B
General Motors — $7.5B
Micron Technology — $6.8B
Amazon — $5.9B
Alcoa — $5.7B
Cheniere Energy — $5.6B
Foxconn Technology Group — $4.8B
Venture Global LNG — $4.3B
Looking at a wider time frame:
Fossil fuel industry (oil, gas, coal): Cumulative direct tax subsidies and support since ~1918 estimated at ~$549 billion.
Railroads (19th/early 20th century): Massive federal land grants (129+ million acres to railroads, worth hundreds of millions at the time—equivalent to billions today adjusted for inflation
Boeing leads recent tracked corporate-specific subsidies, while the fossil fuel sector (as a whole) has likely received the most over the full period since 1900.

How can that be? .@elonmusk took almost no subsidies? That's Impossible, they say.
Not impossible. Most of the government money taken in by the Elon Musk companies is EARNED, not granted or subsidized.
SpaceX - Earns the money from large government contracts (e.g., NASA/DoD payments to SpaceX for launches, cargo, crew transport).
Tesla - Earns the money from Regulatory credits (e.g., Tesla sells EV/zero-emission credits to other automakers).
Tesla ranks around #116 on the Subsidy Tracker with ~$3.16 billion
SpaceX has far fewer entries in the Subsidy Tracker database, as its funding is mostly contractual.

As we can see, if you are lucid, .@EmmanuelMacron is in error.
It's not a good look for a country's leader to spread misinformation and unverified claims.
Nor is it wise to spread lies about the richest man on the planet. A man with enough money to buy his country and turn it into an amusement park.
The truth is, we SHOULD be subsidizing any company owned by Musk. Why?
Reusable rocket technology will transform our space capabilities and forever change how we live.
Neuralink will restore sight to the blind and enable people to walk again.
Self-driving cars will forever change transportation for the good.
His future plans will do more for humanity in the next 10 years than any accomplishment by France in the last 1000 years.
So yeah. If he did get subsidies, it would be well worth it.
@ScottNewberger@SirBylHolte TF, do you know about Uncle Tom? You sound like one of those professional attention seekers.
Byl does not need to be "accepted" because he's just part of the crew. The human crew that is fed up with race hustlers.
I didn’t used to be afraid of black women.
As the nephew of Patti LaBelle, I’ve been blessed to know, love, and be loved by some of the most wonderful, kind, and lovely black women in America.
Then came the wave of “black female empowerment” on television:
Shows like "Ironheart" and "The Acolyte" that portray black women as perpetually angry, combative, morally superior - or just plain evil.
Then social media flooded my feed with viral clips of airport brawls, fast-food meltdowns, and supermarket chaos, all featuring black women front and center.
Democrats elevated figures like Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and FORMER Rep. Jasmine Crockett, whose rhetoric dripped with racial resentment.
CNN gave us Abby Phillip’s smug lectures.
MSNBC platformed Joy Reid’s daily race-baiting.
"The View" serves up Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin in endless sanctimonious rants.
So now, at my age, I’m genuinely terrified of what the dominant “black female mindset” has become in the public eye:
Hostile, entitled, and quick to weaponize race and gender.
I know most real black women aren’t like this at all.
But the fact that so many accept - or even cheer for - these caricatures to represent them is deeply troubling.
@ZeekArkham That post reads as if a white female liberal wrote it. --just saying.
Speaking only for myself, I do not know anyone who hates black people or feels intimidated by them. None.
Hi Isaac,
“Black folks” aren’t hated. Hood rat, ghetto folks are hated. The type of people Chris Rock described in his “black folks vs n-words” monologue. I mean, to be fair, black folks hate “n-words” too. I’m black and I don’t want to be anywhere near them.
I’ll tell you what would help… less tweets like what you just sent out. The self-victimization and “poor me” syndrome is tired. No one wants to listen to it anymore. No one cares. In 2026, we’re all just trying to provide for ourselves and our families. No one is interested in your sob story. As my mother told me awhile back, get over it.
Now if you’ll excuse me, my (white) neighbors can’t stop throwing my family good bye dinners and giving me unsolicited hugs. If they hate me for being black, they’re doing a really weird job of showing it.
@xoxohbff@joeroganhq You're being played.
None of Musk's companies is even in the top 100 for subsidies. That's because they earn most of the money through contracts or selling EV credits.

@joeroganhq "Subsidized"? Musk has provided space travel services and launch services for the US government that have been super safe and very inexpensive relatively speaking. Macron is suffering from brain damage from being beaten up by his wife.
@WhoShotJean@joeroganhq Yep. None of Musk's companies is listed in the "Subsidy Tracker" database. Why? As you said, they earn the money through contracts and providing services.

Normalize being angry about legitimate injustice, no matter who it happens to.
Henry Nowak’s life mattered.
Iryna Zarutska’s life mattered.
Anyone who was murdered where it was completely preventable; their life mattered.
No one should be thinking about furthering an agenda in order to care.
