    Musk funded

    With profits gained from private property

    a illiberal president

    Who built his whole wealth on private property and is actively attacking Venezuela for the crime of nationalizing (deliberalizing) their natural resources.

    that uses the power of the government to terrorize people with draconian anti-immigration policies and pushes highly destructive import tariffs

    None of which are illiberal

    How much does Musk receive every year from government subsidies and government contracts?

    A lot. Because he owns the companies that receives them. Because the system is a liberal system of private ownership and everything else is illegitimate in their eyes.

      Musk receives govenment contracts and government subsities. Trump is using the government to terrorize people. Without the government he couldn’t deport people into foreign dungeons. Banishing legal residents into a foreign dungeon without due process is illiberal and authoritarian. Restricting free trade with massive tariffs is illiberal. Using his position as president to pressure a television network into firing a host is illiberal and authoritarian. The government could stop giving Musk subsities and increase the minimum tax on his companies.
