Thank you for this careful debunking.
Maybe it's too obvious, still I will add that the tax credits are actually introduced by a government elected in a reasonably democratic fashion and that any company is invited to take advantage of this policy.
I mention it because some media try to spin the fact that Elon Musk's companies play along with the rules into something negative, while Musk is in fact just enabling the government to reach its goals. Such as reducing the country's dependence on oil, a resource which has been the justification for exceedingly expensive wars, to the detriment not only of "the average taxpayer" but also the veterans who are told to just imagine they are at Disneyland while waiting for treatment (not to mention those countless people abroad with war inflicted upon them). Or such as making the USA's access to space independent on technology delivered by another warmongering country, now to be wittnessed in about 1.5 hours
. Talk about government spending that has paid off well - and that any one had the right to ask for.
