After handing $TSLA $1bn for ~ nothing, the State of NY continues to make amendments favorable to Tesla in exchange for nothing.
I thought Musk was against subsidies, particularly those that discourage work.

Musk squirms away for now for $SCTY self-dealing until March 2021 (originally March 2020 )
