If the point of having armored vehicles is to keep State Department workers safe, then choosing Tesla would raise some questions — because Teslas are not particularly safe cars. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I hear they explode much like what Trump says about paper straws.

"Musk said he was unaware of the potential contract late Wednesday." - Yeah, a CEO is not aware of a $400 million dollar contract. Just like the convicted felon didn't know that Time magazine still existed when Elon got his mug on the cover.

Only exemplifies the conflict interest Muskeg is in.

The point is not safety. The point is being able to easily monitor State Dept workers and make sure Elon is paid back for his oh so generous support.

How long before Tesla's safety record overtakes its PR? "The police department in Menlo Park found too many issues with Tesla's Model Y to use it as a squad car" gizmodo.com/cops-dont-lo...

No, they don’t want to spend money on Teslas.

Or are the armored cars to protect Musk & Trump from us???? To be used as barriers? And battery stations! As well as welfare to Tesla to offset for current loses!

Probably just a ploy to prop Tesla stock.

Tesla stock will still be on the ground for a lot longer

They’re for Stewart and Enrique’s Megaforce militia. (That’s a reference to a terrible 1982 movie, btw, an action/sci-fi flick with vehicles only slightly less ludicrous than the Tesla. I guess it’ll be “MAGAforce” this time…)

What state department workers? Cars and AI over actual employment.

Elon can go into tesla's system and shut down any tesla. So could a hacker. This is not a safe vehicle for anyone who is at risk enough to need armor protection.

Lol - $400 million will go to Tesla; no vehicles will ever be delivered; and yes officials would be crazy to every ride in them ☠️

Says who? The Department of Transportation? Let's put someone sympathetic in charge. Now Teslas are safe! bsky.app/profile/news...

It doesn't matter. We have a king now and he sells cars as his side gig.
