Some subsidies, like the deduction of Intangible Drilling Costs, were originally put in place in 1916 and still used today even though the oil companies are hugely profitable

I have no opinion on the Intangible Drilling Costs deduction subsidy but I'm pretty sure Tesla makes a shit ton of money selling carbon credits. Without carbon credits (an artificial thing created by the government) Tesla probably wouldn't have survived.
I'd call that a government subsidy. Indirect, but subsidy nonetheless.
