Why are we buying $400mil in armored Teslas?

[Anonymous]

Haven’t you ever watched a dystopian movie?

That’s what the overlords and their security henchmen drive once civilization is destroyed by corporate interests that succeed in creating a small, privileged ruling class served by the newly impoverished masses.

And ICYMI: Montgomery Mall was closed to the public on Sunday morning and surrounded by significant police presence.

There’s a Tesla store in the mall with those trucks on display (and other trucks stored in one garage).

That was the test drive that sealed the big deal.

$400 million worth? That's not efficiency.

Why do we send trillions of dollars oversees for fake wars?

Can you only think about one thing at a time? Sad.

The whole budget is only $57 billion. This is a huge chunk of money for State.

What kind of a bogus question is this? And that too questioning why teslas are involved.

Hope American servicemen feel comfortable using those vehicles.

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.

And yet unlike other “ wasteful” spending under Biden that is being cut, this deal isn’t going anywhere.

Good job America, now you and your children can spend their lives in service to Elon Musk while being unemployed, paying high prices and having no rights. But hey, at least you get to own the libs, so it's worth it!

Because those armored Teslas will be used to quell rebellions of IS citizens, once they figure out they aren't going to have enough money to buy food.

Armored my ass. Like everything that Elon does, complete fraud. How embarrassing was the demo of the armored? Can’t even make this shit up 😫 https://youtu.be/d6UpHjJvnn0?si=SgM788zK2cAuPyZT

Don’t forget that the man who launched a car into space just for show is now in charge of government efficiency!

Good luck with that. Those things can be stopped with a garden hose. And once they catch fire, there’s no escaping.
