Billionaires Need Subsidies?

Elon Musk has done unbelievably well for himself. Many of his early successes were enhanced by the US government subsidizing several of his efforts, including his electric cars. Musk is brilliant and did not really require the help of working people who have never been able to afford a Tesla to bring them to the market. The same unnecessary welfare to the wealthy is provided to billionaire team owners to keep teams in a particular town or give them an incentive to move to another city, thereby imposing an expense on those who will never be able to afford to attend a game to pay for the facility in which the games are played and maybe even the moving expenses of the team as it changes host cities. This burden imposed on the poor to fund the rich is a moral obscenity.
