Musk claimed to be unaware of the contract, writing on his social media platform that “no one mentioned it to me, at least.”
Tesla is one of several Musk-led companies that have benefited from around $13 billion in federal contractsover the past five years.
Mornin’ America. Don’t forget to kiss the portraits before work.
As totally unaware of it as Trump was of Project 2025.
Trump may not be aware of P2025. Not because he hasn’t been told, repeatedly, about it, but because he has the awareness of a pile of sterilized garbage.
All he needs to do is be a “pretty” face while the CEO does all the work. And by CEO I mean his lackeys.
Can’t find government corruption at his own company, but he’s gonna find it everywhere else!
Didn’t this guy break one of the “bulletproof” windows on a Cybertruck with a metal ball he threw at it?
Why would anyone serious trust this company to make a.legitimate military vehicle?
anyone serious
That’s the catch - there are no serious people left in any position of authority in the US.
Because this is an obvious handout from the government to musk. You know all the fraud and waste his little department is supposedly rooting out? Here is actual fraud, in plain sight
To be clear, the contract said “armored Teslas” which could mean a Tesla 3 being retrofitted with armor. It did not specifically specify the Cybertruck.
My question still remains: why would you trust this company that demonstrated their own ineptitude on stage?
I wouldn’t. Sorry, I was just clarifying. There’s zero reason to trust them.
For years the army wanted to junk one of their tanks because it performed poorly and was too expensive to maintain. But because of our limitless lobbying system, the makers of the tank made their factories in key House districts. Every time it came up for renewal it passed with bipartisan support.
Because no representative wants to be the one that closed jobs for their constituents.
“Oh . . uh . . Nuh uh!”
