Original Note:
Neither Tesla or SpaceX (Starlink) have ever received federal grants. They have, however, received government loans, contracts, tax credits, and subsidies. (https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-list-government-subsidies-tesla-billions-spacex-solarcity-2021-12?amp) This is not unusual for a large business, and especially not for a green energy or rocket launching business.
