While MAGA just lost their food stamps at least they can be happy for Elon. He made millions in graft from the same people who are starving now. MAGA

shiflet101.bsky.social•10 days ago

So this year alone, with an increase in DOGE budget going from 6 million to 14.4 million, 400 million tesla contract and billion dollar Space X contracts this year aline....what were up to roughly 5 billion to EM in less than a month; well people's 900/mo Social Security checks get cut.....

While Elon's brat told him that he's not the president, to go away and shut the f up. WHAT A STRONG PRESIDENT, HURR DURRRRRR

These are the same EVs that periodically catch fire and have crashes because the self drive software decided to take over. Was this contract procured by a competitive bidding process?

I for one am looking forward to see Trump in one of those rolling incinerators.

Can't help but wonder what he owes Elon? Or is he afraid of him?

jennofark.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump has SPECIFICALLY RIDICULED the idea of electric vehicles for military operations!

These behemoths already weigh over 7,000 lbs and break axles when hitting potholes; add a couple of thousand pounds of armor and those axles will break when they're PARKED.

barmanpolitics.bsky.social•10 days ago

Armoured, you say.

Can't wait to see it withstand an EMP... Or a hailstorm for that matter.

nah1116.bsky.social•9 days ago

Not notice?! The world’s richest man scoffing at feeding the poor but he’s more than happy to be a welfare king.

The contract was issued in Dec 2024. Would love to find out more about the bidding process and how/why Tesla was selected.

The definition of Conflict of Interest is

“a situation in which a person is in a position to derive personal benefit from actions or decisions made in their official capacity”

Yep. I don’t think you can make it any more blatant than this.

Ludicrous HYPOCRISY on a scale “Never seen before” using Trump’s constant lying bullshit phrase to describe this REAL TRUTH!

corruptionrules.bsky.social•9 days ago

NAZI Musk killing off funding for Children to cut Government spending and taking $400 Million from the Government for Tesla for electric vehicles Trump can’t stand! Trump says climate change doesn’t exist! Deport President Musk! Where is my minuscule 2024 tax refund? Musk pays ZERO in taxes!

Of course they will.

Sure

Because the only car more dangerous than the Ford Pinto is the logical, non-wasteful, non-corrupt choice

I don't understand how he's all for oil and gas. Then signs a contract for EV's for the gov't. Isn't that going to upset O&G. Trying to please everyone is disastrous

imaxximus.bsky.social•9 days ago

They are crappy. The warranty work alone will break Tesla.

alexanderr.nafofellas.com•9 days ago

Noteworthy that these have never been presented to the NHTSA for testing, nor has Tesla released any test results publicly. No idea how this car is even road-legal in the US.

cadmium-enjoyer.bsky.social•10 days ago

We should sell armored Swastikars to our enemies. We could save so much ammunition because the cars will just burn up on their own.

Didn't Musk demonstrate that his Cybertruck was impenetrable by breaking a window with a baseball?

k2rm.bsky.social•9 days ago

Sure, why not outfit them with Wankpanzers.

davegreenidge57.bsky.social•10 days ago

Terrible decision. The cars are major problems when it comes to security. They’re loaded with microphones, cameras and WiFi devices that are constantly sucking up information and relaying it back to Tesla. It’s why they’re banned in China from being anywhere near government buildings.
