$400 Million Worth of 'Armored Tesla'

Thursday, February 13, 2025

The State Department was planning to buy $400 million worth of "Armored Tesla" later this year, according to its 2025 procurement forecast, a document outlining projections of anticipated contracts, which was published in December.

As of late Wednesday, both versions of the 2025 procurement forecast remained available on different State Department webpages. The earlier version that mentions Tesla also lists the planned procurement under NAICS Code 311999, an industry code for miscellaneous food manufacturing, while the newer version, which says it was modified at 9:12 p.m., Feb. 12, lists the revised "Armored Electric Vehicles" procurement under NAICS Code 561613 for "Armored Car Services." No other changes were made in the document, which contains 319 other line items.

THat is after Fat Felon mocked the military buying electric vehicles during the campaign.

"I'm pretty sure Tesla isn't getting $400M. No one mentioned it to me, at least," Musk posted on X, the social media platform he also owns, early Thursday.

Riiiiigggggttttt.

LOL anyone who thought spending cuts would actually happen to a meaningful level.

Any program cut we'll see is simply allowing money to be redirected to a Trump insider. DOGE is nothing but pure corruption for wealth transfer via the Treasury.

It was the Biden administration who planned to spend the $400 million with Tesla. Funny how the line item got renamed and "Tesla" was replaced with "armored Electric Vehicles"

"Reports late Wednesday showed the U.S. State Department's procurement forecast for 2025 included a $400 million line item titled "Armored Tesla (Production Units)." It's a five-year contract with deliveries set to begin in Q4.

The State Department claims the procurement forecast update occurred in December, making it Biden administration work and not yet under the Trump administration.

The line item, reported by Electrek and others online, was edited to remove the mention of Tesla about six hours after it became public, to simply say "armored Electric Vehicles."

Good point.

Was pulling out of Afghanistan Biden's fault or Trump's fault?

If you ask lfthndturds, he would say pulling out of Afghanistan was Biden's fault.

While at the same time telling you, spending $400 million on Tesla is also Biden's fault.

From Reinhegetsidiot's own link:

So, according to this child predator's math and reading skills $8 trillion = $30 trillion.
