U.S. gave Reuters $9 Million says MUSK

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Trump ain't got his name on a budget yet, congress and the democrats do

Democrats didn't order Muskrats trucks, republicans did.

Elon Musk was blasted Wednesday following revelations that the Trump administration plans to spend $400 million on "armored” Teslas in what's in what’s reportedly the State Department’s biggest contract of 2025.

US gave Muskrat hundreds of millions.

Musk gives the US jobs and innovation.

 

[LeftofLeft]

The Left hates transparency and loves waste, fraud, and abuse.

$400 million? Of which maybe 5% would be profit (if the story is even true). That gives Musk maybe $20 million. Elon Musk is worth over $400 billion (Give or take which week it is.)

.O05% wow, I can see your concern. The horror

Your article says this is a Biden Democrat contract.

Hopefully Trump will stop that. You can use electric vehicles in war.

The amount itself (on its own) may not have much significance, but other implications of this story do seem significant.

How many such contracts has the U.S. paid for?

And under what authority?

I chuckled at Musk’s last line:

Yes. Let’s!

Under President Trump, we are actually privileged to see the dawn of a new age. We get to see a Government do what it’s supposed to do. Trump is doing what he promised to do. He is mightily starting the Herculean struggle to drain the sewer. And Musk seem to be having some fun in exposing all the shit we wanted exposed.

This is awesome.

Texas gave Space X $7.5mm in grants.

[Marener]

They said that Politico got $8 million and they were only off by a factor of 200.

Sorry, but what Musk claims can’t be trusted. He’s lied way too many times.

From straight arrow.

In total, the Biden administration allocated over $190 billion for EVs and related infrastructure through the next decade. The administration allocated these funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act, Department of Energy grants and additional investments.

From Teslarati:

The manufacturers of the EV and ICE armored sedans are not yet listed on the Procurement Forecast.

It does not list which of Tesla’s EVs will be chosen to be outfitted with armoring to protect high-ranking government officials. Of course, the one that comes to mind is the Tesla Cybertruck, which the automaker already geared to be resistant to more than any other vehicle in its lineup.

Can't they just embed mobile charging stations?

It's all about eventually getting the entire iceberg.

Democrats propaganda is so unpopular they literally have to steal tax dollars to pay MSM to push it.

So you want to rely on and pay Putin that money to shuttle our astronauts back and forth to the space station? I mean it was Obama who stopped our space program.

With diesel fuel generators? Where are you going to get the electricity fighting our enemies on their soil?

I see layoffs looming in Reuter's future

Is this a red herring, or just an attempt to change the subject?
