Summary
A leaked State Department document revealed plans for a $400 million contract potentially favoring Tesla, despite earlier denials.
The document indicated an aggressive bid for armored electric vehicles linked to Trump-era revisions, while Biden’s administration had only budgeted $483,000 for a related study.
Experts questioned the feasibility of using Tesla’s Cybertruck due to technical and safety issues, with Musk and the White House downplaying the deal.
Critics and security professionals expressed skepticism about replacing traditional armored vehicles with modified EVs.
Idk, putting fascists in armored EVs that are known for catching fire or getting bricked could be a good thing.
As a Canadian please Trump gut your military just like how Russia did.
By smashing it against our neighbor?
I’m mean with less accountable and more corruption weakening it’s potency.
Yeah I was trying to be funny but that’s getting damn hard these days
Did somebody say conflict of interest, because that’s exactly what it sounds like.
No way, Elon said he could identify any conflicts of interest and recuse himself. He wouldn’t have lied about what an honest guy he is!
Do you really think a fascist would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
After the first four years of golfing at trump clubs and sleeping in trump hotels, all at 3x the normal price, do you think they care?
Nobody did anything the first time, nobody will do anything now. They don’t care about outraged redditors.
Yep, Democrats had 4 years to lock the guy up, and they didn’t, because it was more important to look bipartisan and pick a Republican AG.
I mean, are we blaming now the democrats for everything trump does?
There’s at least two entities I would put more blame on:
-trump
-republicans

Trump To Cut Off All 8,000 EV Charging Ports At Federal Buildings
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) under Donald Trump calls them not mission critical.
Good luck charging them all then, I guess.
If these guys’ idiocy wasn’t so dangerous, it would be funny.
