What's wrong with this? Why should a producer's say be the same as a welfare case?
State Dept Contracts For $400M In “Armored Teslas”
- Thread starter NoleATL
- Start date
The feds pay Elon about $8 million a day in contracts. You grandma on social security gets about $65 a day. But yeah, she's the problem.
Is that what I said, Dimwit? $8 mil a day seems like a great deal when the cat is saving us over $1 bil a day, don't you think, or does the hate fog your brain? 🤡
Damn that Antony Blinken!!!!!Has to be a Pepsi but the grift is too good not to post multiple times...
The State Department’s procurement forecast, revised as of late December 2024
"Armored Tesla" forecast to win $400 million State Department contract after Trump's election, government document shows
The State Department’s procurement forecast, revised as of late December 2024, lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to buy $400,000,000 worth of “Armored Tesla.”www.dropsitenews.com
My bet is the Biden State Department decided they were gonna buy electric armored cars.
Tesla probably ended up being the only US manufacturer that could make a decent one.

Market observers say the process could take a decade or longer. "For manufacturers, it obviously means a significant increase in demand," said Plug in America Executive Director Joel Levin.

Has anybody noted how colossally stupid an electric armored car is in principle?
The Trump Administration doesn't have to award the contract. You do know this?
The fact that you throw a fit over some judges wife’s job but see no problem with this at all tells me you are willfully blind here.
Absolutely.
Just ironic that the Biden State Department chose Tesla.
Once they decided to go electric they probably didn’t have a viable alternative.
I agree, but Elon has the authority to cancel the waste unilaterally. I’m sure he’ll do the right thing.
Why? If the current administration is not in favor of EV evolution then the contract shouldn't be awarded. I think you should be able to agree with that.
But the State Department really needs those electric armored cars!!!
In addition, fighting climate change is never wasteful 😁
Internal combustion cars more likely to explode and burn but keep your narrative.
As the poster above pointed out, Trump and MAGAs hate EVs. I’m sure he’ll do the right thing.
Very easy for this current contract to be denied.
They are a middle of the pack vehicle company in terms of quality/functionality. Tesla excelled at making a sports car. Everything else has been meh.
Very good!
Every Tesla Cybertruck Recall Since the Vehicle Was Released

How? Trump can cancel this contract. DOGE has already cancelled many of them.
They are overpriced DEI Wokemobiles.
Poor kids in Africa don’t need food handouts, and they don’t need condoms in Gaza. You guys shut that off pretty quick, BoTH SiDZ. End the WOKE!
I’m not. I’m not a fan of EVs either. I’m less of a fan of people with huge ethical issues getting $400 million contracts for vehicles with 7 recalls in a year while cutting cancer research. But I guess your not in between a rock and a hard place, because you support the guy.
Exactly. It's like @binsfeldcyhawk2 blaming the Biden administration for the Trump administration approving the Tesla contract.
Very good!

Software upgrades. Rubes still fall for gotcha headlines.
Tesla Cybertruck is the 21st century version of the Ford Pinto
Not really, Amazon chose Rivian - their vehicles don’t explode.
No. They’re the only ones that did a good job at it apparently.
The Biden administration agreed.
Who cares? Elon and Donald are on the job now. We’ve got two alphas on the prowl. They should be able to cancel terrible contracts immediately. It’s what alphas do.
