What defines a successful business?

Walmart. Amazon.

For some reason people think Tesla is successful, but without tax breaks it wouldn't even exist.

Weird that the anti-business people are never willing to cease using any of the goodies produced by those very same businesses. Nobody sees such people giving up computers or modern clothing, automobiles, air travel, VACCINES, and so forth and so on. Every material item that provides them 'quality of life' from shelter to entertainment is a product of business. Ironic, eh?

I'm not anti-business. Just wondering why so many business people are against handouts. Without tose handouts their company would not exist, they would be unempployed and just as poor as everone else. Why do you think the greatest oppononents of handouts often are the ones who receive the most 'free money' in the form of tax breaks and subsidies?
