        I’d prefer “dumb as a husky.” Which is to say, smart enough to get into relatively creative predicaments but too dumb to get out. The dunning kruger zone.

          Maybe they meant anything that can be subsidized by the government.

          Tesla and SpaceX take in tons of government subsidies, either directly like SoaceX, or with car enables to artificially make their cars more competitive in the market.
