The Democratic Governor of California denounced them publicly and stopped the effort. Despite Musk raising millions and campaigning viciously against the Democrats the administration kept all of SpaceX contracts and Tesla ev subsidies. In fact the IRA benefited Tesla disproportionately. Both sides are NOT the same. One is fascist and the other is not

The Democratic White House chose to not invite Tesla to their EV Summit. That was not political? The Democratic DoJ and Democrat DAGs prosecuted dozens of former Trump administration officials and Trump allies, and even Trump himself: Trump Administration Officials: Michael Flynn – Former National Security Advisor Stephen K. Bannon – Former White House Chief Strategist & Campaign Advisor Mark Meadows – Former White House Chief of Staff Jeffrey Clark – Former Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division, U.S. Department of Justice Peter Navarro – Former White House Trade Advisor Trump Allies: Paul Manafort – Former Trump Campaign Chairman George Papadopoulos – Former Trump Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor Rick Gates – Former Trump Deputy Campaign Chairman Roger Stone – Longtime Trump Advisor and Friend Michael Cohen – Former Personal Attorney to Donald Trump Elliott Broidy – Former Trump Fundraiser Rudolph Giuliani – Attorney to Trump, Former Mayor of New York City Waltine Nauta – Personal Aide to Trump Carlos De Oliveira – Property Manager at Mar-a-Lago Sidney Powell – Trump Campaign Attorney Kenneth Chesebro – Trump Attorney Jenna Ellis – Trump Campaign Attorney John Eastman – Trump Attorney Dinesh D'Souza – Conservative Commentator, Trump Supporter Joseph M. Arpaio – Former Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, Trump Supporter Ray Smith III – Trump Attorney Cathy Latham – Fake Elector, Coffee County GOP Leader Robert Cheeley – Trump Attorney David Shafer – Fake Elector, Former Georgia GOP Chair Mike Roman – Trump Campaign Staffer Shawn Still – Fake Elector, Then-Georgia State Senator Scott Hall – Atlanta Bail Bondsman Misty Hampton – Former Coffee County Elections Supervisor Steve Lee – Pastor from Illinois Harrison Floyd – Black Voices for Trump Leader Trevian Kutti – Publicist from Chicago I'm sure this was just Democrats following the law, with no bias, right? This kind of narrative that you're forwarding now where the Republican Party are fascists and Trump is a threat to democracy is exactly the kind of mentality that was used to elicit this enormous persecution of Trump and officials near him. Meanwhile, the real elephant in the room is always ignored: The Democrats shovel hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money to large unions in order to secure their support and win elections. This is textbook corruption. https://politifact.com/factchecks/2022/dec/14/kevin-brady/bidens-36-billion-to-save-teamsters-fund-from-inso/ https://politifact.com/factchecks/2022/dec/14/kevin-brady/bi... The recipients of USAID grants? All Democrats. Same story all across DC. That's why 92.4% of DC voted for Harris. DC, meanwhile, has a per capita GDP of $250,000.

Why shouldn’t the recipients receive these grants other than that they are Democrats? What about their projects makes them not meritorious?

    If you can't see the opportunity for corruption and bias here, then there's nothing I can do to convince you. This is always a story when people call Republicans corrupt or fascists and say the Democrats are not. They have absolutely no impartiality in the way they look at the world.

    So politics, not the merit of the EV company. This was a EV company summit, not a labor unions summit.

      Policy difference not partisan squables or payback for supporting his opponents. Most Democrats feel Unions are important to help workers (union and nonunion) earn more.

        To base the decision on what companies to invite to an EV summit on whether they support the Democrats' favorite constituents is pure politics. The only policy difference here is one which helps the Democrats win elections.
