GM? Ford? I know IBM, HP, etc. get government contracts or at least did and those count as government support. Don't forget Microsoft which was supposed to be broken up but wasn't. Also, Bell and Rogers (in Canada) who are basically allowed to have monopolies over the phone and cable lines.
Lockheed Martin and Boeing couldn't be as huge as they are without defense contracts either.
