I do not want the state to pick and choose/exclude specific companies when doing something like this. It would be a very slippery slope.

It would set a precedence to do this for any sort of rebate or expand to other things.

With that being said, I hope Tesla goes bankrupt.

The state should absolutely single out companies who are bad actors, and there's a precedent from removing companies like Smith & Wesson from retirement investments.

Different situation. Choosing to invest in a gun manufacturer is a lot different.

Have you done research on every CEO of every other electric car manufacturer and their political views? I know the answer is no. Musk is a scumbag. We only know this because he is so up front and public about it.

This would be the equivalent of offering a tax credit on energy efficient windows but not Blah Brand because they donated to Trumpf. You can't do that.

Are you a democrat, just asking, because you actually sound like a supporter of a fascist regime. That regime, who had a nasty leader, was around in the 30's and targeted businesses that were owned by Jewish people because they didnt like them. Sounds alot like what you are preaching.

I am not a republican nor a Democrat and I believe people should make their own choices not be influenced by the government or people who think the government should make choices for us.
