You mean the government has a contract with Elon because of the proprietary technology ?

It’s extremely weird Elon who has a contract with Space X under Obama.


Has a contract with Starlink under Biden

Now has a contract with Tesla under Trump

Was this Elon long plan?

And just incase you were not totally sure how we feel about your gotcha post ??

do you think Elon is wasting the money or committing fraud? Do you think Elon can't tell you where the money went?

Responding to a segment by MSNBC's Rachel Maddow about the $400 million contract, Musk wrote on X on Wednesday night: "Hey @Maddow, why the lie?"

The Tesla contract started in the Biden administration "to explore interest from private companies to produce armored electric vehicles," a State Department spokesperson said on Thursday.

Tesla was the only company to express interest in the department's request at the time.

You mean the guy who builds rockets is building rockets for the government. Wait……the guy who CATCHES rockets.

Or the guy who won a contract (because he was the only bidder) to build electric vehicles for the government, a terrible idea that will now not come to fruition. You the guy that builds the best electric vehicles in the world. And that wasn’t Trump, you low IQ dipstick. It was BIDEN.

Starlink? Which other service would you propose? Maybe check with China? See what they have for us?

Because this board loves to watch the world’s richest man grab more power and manipulate foreign contracts to his personal benefit due to his relationship with Trump.


Has any evidence of this been produced?

To make money? Yeah. People in business for themselves can usually be found trying to make money.

I'm fairly certain I read that the Tesla contract is not actually a contract but rather a solicitation to EV manufacturers gauging instrest prior to a request for quote. It was actually sent out under the Biden administration but has since been put on indefinite hold.
