Scrubbing the word "Tesla" from the budget line doesn’t erase the $400 million they’re still getting for "armored electric vehicles." A conflict of interest doesn’t disappear just because you rephrase it. This sloppy cover-up makes it worse.

The State Department was set to buy $400 million worth of armored Teslas from Elon Musk. But after a report from Drop Site News exposed the massive conflict of interest, the department quietly deleted the word “Tesla” and changed the $400 million line item to a generic “armored electric vehicles.”
