The "GM" that got the money was already restructured, it is "new GM", the shareholders in old GM were wiped right out.

Propping up GM legitimately helped hundreds of thousands of workers. Whether it was a good use of the money is a different question than that, but the money didn't go to shareholders, it went to keeping the operations going.
