NEWS: The U.S. Government is currently planning to award @Tesla a $400 million contract to buy armored Teslas.
The State Department's most recent procurement forecast, updated in December 2024, names Tesla as the recipient of the largest projected contract. The anticipated award date is 9/30/2025, with a 5 year contract length.
Never saw that comingā¦
Throw DOGE out the window I guess
Doge will turn a blind eye to Elon companies government contracts for sure. Even though many of us would consider them as waste........
Why are you even surprised
Why would they possibly need armored cars while going to and from airports and in and out of cities in America?
Good question
Anon, itās possible that Tesla with its advanced AI incorporated into its vehicles and humanoid robots will be a Force to reckon with. Machines donāt miss
Isnāt that along the same lines as rewarding contracts to your friends? Even if it is the best vehicle for thatā¦ Because the cyber truck is almost an armored vehicle into itself. Of course, then again Iām sure there are senators who have gotten plenty of money from GM and Ford as a result of their armored vehicle contracts.
Now Iām having a harder and harder time having a problem with thisā¦ š¤
More likely the issue is that TESLA vehicles are for CUCKS.
Troll harderā¦.
Tell me I'm not right. I'm serious.
Do you know anyone who owns a tesla? If so, rate their cuck status.
My guess is pretty high
Wait.. what do YOU drive?? Letās put money where mouth isā¦
imagine buying an expensive "luxury" car with bad quality
You mean like everything from Jaguar Land Rover?
Teslas are very common in the states especially the model 3 they are probably one of the cheaper new cars you can buy right now because government subsidy which seems to be ending. Do not blame people for buying. The government literally was gifting them in some states.
And for the record I own zero Teslas
Wonder what DOGE is going to say about armored Teslasā¦ š
They removed the word Tesla from government site just says armored vehicles. Doge will definitely not scrutinize any Tesla gov contracts that is for sure
GAYYYYYYYY
A guy who owns a company that sells cars is currently working in the efficiency department of the government, which is now buying cars from his own company, and the money for these purchases comes from tax impositionsātaxes that even the competition of this guy are forced to pay.
Statists: No, there's no contradiction. #elonmusk is cool.
#libertarianism #government #anarchism
Who is John Galt
If you read the original article in NY you see the order was done by Joe Biden gov cabinet in 2024 December. So it is not because he is busy of Trump but surely it looks like corruption and based on Tesla PnL this order could be rejected by the company for Good faith!
Yes its not a kick back from Trump to elon but still a bad look. Doge certainly will not scruntinize any Tesla gov contracts.
maybe theyāll have to address their fiery death trap situation
This doesnāt smell like a conflict of interest at allā¦.
It was awarded during the Biden adminstration but yes its a bad look and also in my eyes considered waste the Doge should get rid of. Conflict of interest there for sure in oversight of waste. They won't consider Tesla gov contracts waste.
So basically Elon is getting a bailout
We shall see if it does happen will be plenty of blowback even though contract was awarded during Biden adminstration.
Move on. Nothing to see here.
Supposedly the order has been dropped.
I also believe it is as awarded during Biden adminstration. Tesla was removed it only says armored vehicles now.
This was actually awarded during the Biden Administration, but the fact that they removed the Tesla from the listing shows they know it's a bad look. We need a DOGE of the DOGE.
I for one am shocked
Can't burn fiat fast enough.... Tesla hold my beer
ooops, turns out the BIDEN ADMIN rewarded Tesla this contract š¤¦š»
