Subsidies for what though?

And what is this $400 million dollar deal? That needs more explaining.

What is $2.4 billon dollars to a guy who is worth $359.4 billion? What are the advantages of Starlink vs Verizon? My understanding is that Starlink will provide the FAA with significantly better coverage than Verizon, and better coverage falls under the definition of "efficiency."

I'm finding on internet searches (not like it's the gospel) that "Musk has received over $20 billion in contracts and tax breaks," but tax breaks aren't illegal, and neither are contracts. How are contracts like the Starlink deal illegal?

 KW> Trump is already bought - he's still afloat financially because of

How is Trump influenced by Russia? Trump was not even a member of government until 2017. Russia didn't invade Ukraine until Obama was president (2000s.)

 KW> Taking the term "profit" figuratively, Trump has used his position to

As president, Trump is allowed to appoint whoever he wants. Who should decide who the president appoints if not the president himself?

 KW> I'd have a hard time believing that the US government selling the Nancy

That's another story I'm not familiar with. It's local news for you. What's up with it? By the way you described it, it sounds like a profitable thing for the government to do.
