I blame him less than I blame our weak leader who doesn't defend Texans. So here's the record. The record is that Elon Musk has given Greg Abbott half a million dollars to his campaign and he has received 1 .6 billion in property tax breaks for his company, Tarifab. He's received tens of millions of dollars just in cash from the state of Texas for Starbase. He has received the governor's intervention in contracting for broadband so that he could receive a $100 million broadband contract.
