Elon Musk Repaid Tesla’s $465M Loan Early—with a Thank You Note! 💸📬 In 2010, Tesla was a long shot. But Elon Musk didn’t just take a $465M government loan—he paid it off nine years early, with interest and penalties… and even left a thank you note to the American taxpayer. 🙏 This bold move made Tesla the first U.S. automaker to fully repay an ATVM loan. A rare moment where Musk played both the borrower and the budget hawk. #ElonMusk #Tesla #EVRevolution #GovernmentLoan #Benzinga #BusinessHistory #ThankYouTaxpayers
