But remember. Elon himself is not applying for the government contracts. So there is no conflict of interest. What a crock of shit! This piece of pasty white excrement has created a loophole that bypasses the eligibility requirements to be POTUS!
My friend was terminated from a probationary federal position today. Her job was useful and she brought so much skill and expertise with her. And everything was just fine one month before but now it’s not?What percentage of federal taxpayer money is going to be diverted to King Musk. I am so angry.
I'd say the number is about $4 trillion - that's how much they need to keep their billionaire tax cuts. They're stealing straight out of the mouths of poor and sick people. It's disgusting.
Was this a sole source procurement or did the Muskrat actually have to compete against other potential suppliers. I'd love to see the comparative evaluations
Tesla had a motor vehicle accident rate of 23.54 crashes per 1,000 drivers across all models from November 2022 to November 2023. This is the highest accident rate among all automakers. Good work, Elon. Blow up another SpaceX rocket to celebrate your hoodwinking our government.
Guys - the only use case for armored EVs is in an urban environment where you can use an existing charging network. That’s… the US and there are literally no good reasons why armored tanks would be needed domestically…
I look forward to laughing long and hard when an IED blows one of those VIP bullshit tincans into many many sooo many pieces. This crap will never be deployed into the field.
No sane person would buy a cyber truck so he has to dump them on the US taxpayer. Musk learned a lot about dumping into US market from his Chinese masters.
I mean I do think this is an interesting military move, and I’m admittedly not the most well versed in modern warfare, but I’m just not super sure what the tactical benefits of putting armor on a bomb is.
Elon knows cybertrucks only make sense in a post apocalyptic hellscape and damn it to hell if he’s not going to drive civilization off a cliff just to make his tin foil tank wagons seem more appealing.
There goes our tax dollars right into mush’s pocket ( my continual calling that ahole mush is due to the condition of his brain on drugs ) actually more like psychotic
Nobody wanna buy cybertruck. Inventory piling up. Musk is desperate to squeeze *something* from increasing units just sitting on lots, facing a total lack of demand.
That would be a generous return on a purchase price of the American presidency. If there’s any justice, however, it will turn out to be a short-term “rental” with every dime of his ill-gotten gains clawed back and returned to the US Treasury.
They should withhold payment until the end of the contracted term to ensure that they have fulfilled their obligations of their promises. Aren’t those the same electric batteries Dramadon was warning against. Choose a lane
And yet I have to sign a conflict of interest form every year to ensure that I might not have an uncle who works for a healthcare company to keep on working as an MD
cybertrucks also setting off your crown vic response is like basically the only way to make them even more widely hated at this point so you know, we got that
What how he will make his stock holders happy! And USA will get a hold bunch of terrible trucks that when it gets wet it can catch on fire .
Government employees getting a contract. The same guy who owns the truck company also keeping an eye on spending. Lol USA 💩
Do Trump & Hegseth realize they're buying ELECTRIC armored vehicles? Sounds pretty "woke". Kind of "DEI" for power, eh? And of course it's not a conflict for "president musk".
What idiot allowed a law to have no cap on individuals donating to political campaigns?! Of course the richest will own our government. Dems are arguing to save starving African babies when Trump/Musk don't care to save Americans. THEY DONT CARE. It's a 4 yr coup to transfer billions to themselves.
Although maybe we can recycle bits of those that haven't self-destructed yet? How shittily are these things built is what I'm asking, would the batteries be re-usable?
Will they become crematoriums for Republicans issued them? Or will they just burn up in goverment parking lots with none brave enough to drive a Nazitruck?
Yes. On more than one occasion, he derided Biden and the military under him, riffing endlessly about how stupid the idea of EVs would if used. I think it was one of his go-to stories for a while, just windmills, low-flush toilets, shower heads...insanity.
I think the point of what they were trying to say was they were up in arms about Biden doing something that they are more than comfortable to do themselves while attacking electric vehicles & cutting budgets.
This is sad. Can't imagine any US military member chosing to protect himself in his over an armored Humvee.
They can't compete in side by side hill climbs or mud runs.
Please, sell them in russia.
It’s wild they’re going to use them for military missions, when the fuckin things can only handle solid, flat, dry asphalt. They break just looking at a rock, let alone driving over rocky terrain.
The grift goes on, and on and on. Make the billionaires even richer, at the expense of the rest of us, and particularly the poor. But apparently the US loves its billionaires. American nightmare.

If people won’t buy your cars, make the government do it.

300 million paid to the republican party
400 million paid right back.
The Goon Squad is just corruptly self-dealing (which is soon to be outlawed in Ohio and Mississippi.)

I don't understand how supporting larceny is going to win back the hearts and minds of the American people.

People are already dying from President Musk’s interference with functioning government.
Musk doesn’t care. His stooge, Donald “diaper donny” doesn’t care. And the compromised, blackmailed, and corrupt GOP doesn’t care either.
Killing people for more money (when you already have more than anyone on the planet).

My fear is, these will be urban pacification bound.
