Afaik Tesla is not a government contractor, so your compensation comment is moot.
Where we see waste in government is in big, entrenched, dinosaurs where competition is very difficult and/or limited. What we need is a little more free market capitalism in those areas. Greed is not the driver of waste imo, incompetence is a far bigger contributor.
If you'd like to make tangible arguments instead of vaguely ranting against capitalism then I'm all ears.
Edit: also the multi-billion dollar compensation package was in stock, so it didn't actually waste any money
Edit 2: by the way you're still dodging my original legitimate question about what the government has ever actually built without private contractors. There are real answers to that question and if you are such a big proponent of the government building things themselves maybe you should know something about them.
