Also odd that this is the only contract entered into by radical socialist leftists that doesn't seem to be based in fraud and corruption. Hmmmm

Giving a gigantic contract to the president's best buddy seems like fraud and corruption to me. Attempting to hide it after getting caught seems even worse.

Before castigating everything, remember that it was the Biden admin that originally contracted the deal. So it was Blinken who was ultimately responsible.

His net worth has increased by over 100bn$ between election day Nov 2024 and inauguration 2025-even considering the double digit drop in Tesla sales in Europe. I think he's had a pretty good RoI in his campaign donations.

Tesla sales have dropped 50% in Europe. They're not so popular with American consumers either. Did you really think DOGE exists to save the US Taxpayers money? It's to enable Trump and Musk to advance their business interests...financed by you the taxpayer!

It's going to be amazing to see how much Tesla sales collapse in the US this quarter. When you're dependent on liberals to buy your product and you come out as a liberal hating neo-hitler, your company is going bankrupt.

He is sucking up government money now. He is on welfare basically.

His businesses are failures. They’re unsafe and he can’t deliver on his promises. He’s giving himself a giant bailout.

The state department took the NAME Tesla off the list. But that doesn't mean they won't just buy Teslas from Musk.

What open corruption!! They aren't even trying to hide it!!

A department procurement forecast for 2025 detailed purchases the agency expected to make, including $400 million for armored Tesla vehicles. The document did not specify which Tesla model, but the electric Cybertruck, which has a body of high-strength stainless steel, would be the most suitable.

Later on Wednesday, a different version of the procurement document appeared online. It referred to “armored electric vehicles,” omitting any mention of Tesla.

Mr. Musk spent more than $250 million to help elect Mr. Trump, who then appointed him as the leader of a cost-cutting initiative that’s been called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

The Blue States MUST do something to stop this STEAL!! Umbelibable.

Exactly.

There are no radical socialist leftists in the US government. Anyone that says that is just shining a giant beacon on themselves that says, “I’m a fascist.”

Didn’t stop Musk from canceling other Biden contracts
