The reason why I allegedly 'dodged the issue is because it is nonsensical.
First: There is no such thing as "The Federal Reserve Bank". There are twelve of them, 24 branches, each owned by member banks in their districts.
As for monetary policy, open market operations are primarily conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Federal Reserve Banks buy and sell US treasury obligations.
When they lend money to banks the banks pay interest. When they have US treasury obligations they receive interest.
Perhaps your mistake stems from not understanding the role of the system itself. The Federal Reserve Banks do remit profits to the US Treasury:
The Federal Reserve Board on Friday announced preliminary financial information indicating that the Reserve Banks had estimated net income of $107.8 billion du

That is absolutely nothing like the idea that there is some kind of 'forgiveness' involved. There is nothing like that. When losses happen at Federal Reserve Banks those reduce earnings.
I probably should have explained, but did not because the thesis was so wrong that I though you were joking. I apologize.
For the record: Nearly everything about the Federal Reserve System, individual Federal Reserve Banks and even the minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee are public records. Nobody who really wants to know needs to invent strange theories. Just look it up.
The document I linked comes from the Federal Reserve website. There are documents on every conceivable issue there. There are also links there to each of the Federal Reserve Banks.
FWIW, you grossly misunderstand to whom Federal Reserve Banks charge interest. Please, please study about the system if you're posting about it. They make ZERO, ZILCH, NADA on loans to anybody other than Member Banks and eligible securities. They do NOT deal wit the general public. Succinctly, they are Central Banks, not commercial ones.
What all this has to do with Tesla I do not know. If somebody really wants to pursue all this in gruesome detail I suggest we have a dedicated thread, preferably dealing with Tesla Treasury management issues also. Those are really interesting and this is yet another one of the areas in which Tesla is far above nearly all corporations.
