Breaking down how much money Musk's Starlink received from USAID

A senator from Vermont claimed Elon Musk's Starlink received "millions" from the humanitarian aid agency.

He lives off the government teet.

That is true. If it wasn’t for the federal government, Space X and Tesla would be in the tank.

 

[Moonglow]

because he runs a business and has something the government wants? bill gates probably gets lots of money too in software, where is the outrage? Musk does not just give stuff out for free

Really, I posted facts and you think it is outrageous, why you drama queen, does Trump know he has competition in vapor attacks?

 

[Rawley]

Wrong. It is Rubio’s call. Do you think DOGE will cancel the contract. DOGE is cancelling thousands of other contracts.

DOGE doesn't cancel contracts

 

[Rawley]

Well the good news is that Trumpers are now all pro-electric car.

They are? why would that be?

DOGE doesn't cancel contracts

Wrong.

DOGE slashes millions more in 'nonsense' contracts across several federal agencies

The Trump administration's DOGE effort has canceled several million dollars in contracts across various agencies, all aimed at slashing government waste.

The point is why doesn’t DOGE cancel the contract? Musk has cancelled tens of millions in contracts. Why doesn’t Rubio cancel it?

Maybe they want the cars.

 

[JLW]

Damn. Your cult's brainwashing is good.

Me??? You are in such denial you can’t accept reality. Of course, DOGE does, has and will continue to cancel contracts. Deal with it!

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.”

The award is targeted for Q4, and is forecast to last for five years.

The procurement forecast is listed as having been modified on December 13, 2024, a month after Donald Trump’s election. The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Under the heading, "extent competed," the document reads merely "TBD."

Any bets that DOGE will not cancel this contract..anyone..Bueller..Bueller…

In 4 years they can say we cut this and that just look at what we did and in the mean time giving out government contracts to Musk and cronies like crazy. Not to mention what 4 trillion Johnson has proposed today. So, where do we end up? Higher government out of pocket than yesterday.

Take from one had put in the other and what do you have?

DOGE has no power to cancel anything. They identify waste and make recommendations to the executive branch which makes cancellations. Something the Trump admin ran on and is making good on as they promised the majority of voters in the US.

I thought you all hated electric vehicles. Here we have the federal government subsidizing Tesla’s “armored” teslas and you love it. Who knows DOGE may order another $400,000,000 more Teslas because he knows you Trumpers won’t mind.

I thought you all LOVED electric vehicles? Especially if they were scheduled for purchase during the Biden Administration.

How many such vehicles do you think four hundred million worth are? A high-end Tesla Sedan is well over $100K. But these are ARMORED, and no doubt full of sophisticated electronic equipment for counter-surveilance and security, as well as redundant mechanical functions to allow for get away after an ambush.

"The Beast" the presidential vehicle that Trump was somehow able to steer from the very back seat, is estimated to cost between one and two million. Four Hundred million will probably buy less than a hundred vehicles.

How do you think Tesla got the contract? Bribed Joe through Hunter? Nope. Tesla was the low bidder, duh!

QED They've convinced you that he's been imbued with God-like qualities. Don't you find it a bit odd that your lawfare fevered cult hasn't filed a single lawsuit against DOGE and Elon for "cancelling" any of these contracts?

What do you think all those lawsuits are regarding unfreezing federal funds are? They are from contractors and others whose agreements and funding are being cancelled. Break free of the Trump cult and open your eyes.

 

[Concerned American]

They are from contractors and others whose agreement are being cancelled.

Their contracts were ILLEGAL.

 

[JLW]

Their contracts were ILLEGAL.

They were all legal. They are only illegal to those that don’t beleive in the rule of law.

Show me a lawsuit naming DOGE or Musk as a defendant for cancelling a government contract and I'll shine your sneakers. You need to stop listening to the nonsense propaganda your cult leaders are spewing on the steps that Musk is an unelected dictator. He has zero power to cancel any contract or any spending. ZERO.

 

[gtopa1]

When is Musk going to pay back the money he received from the corrupt USAID?

An old blackfella once said to me in conversation:

"We ask the Government for all sorts of stupid shit. When they offer it to us WE aren't stupid enough to reject it"....................that was in about 1985.

So, in your world, DOGE has no power and it’s all a big sham. Okay..

 

[Rawley]

Correct

Nope. Serious as a heart attack. Have they truly kept you this ignorant about DOGE's role?
