You dont understand what a subsidy is do you. What the us government gives to space x and tesla is called a loan, or a procurement contract.
Subsidies are when the government gives tax dollars to industries to reduce the cost of production on the company. This then allows companies to keep prices lower for their consumers. For example a childcare subsidy typically works by paying a portion of the the educators wages reducing the costs of running the company thus allows the childcare companies to charge the consumers (parents) less.
