WTF is the government doing loaning tax payer dollars to the richest man in the world?

Rich people don't stay rich by spending their money. They get money in order to be able to spend other people's money.

I get that. What I don't get is why our government would be involved in loaning them our tax dollars. Usually the government borrows money through bonds, or backs loans. They don't usually directly loan our tax dollars out to wealthy corporations.
