I'm sure he's not the only one. Didn't Musk get Stimulus money for something?

“On his company’s website, Palomino has listed USAA, Valero Energy and Fiesta San Antonio among his clients.”
“Officials at those companies say they’ve never done business with Palomino or his firm. Their names vanished from CRE8AD8’s website after the Express-News began making inquiries.”
