State Dept to purchase 400M for armored Cybertrucks

What a fleece - dRaiN tHe swaMP!
Really moves the needle for a company worth a trillion dollars.

By comparison, Tesla’s market cap went down by $50 Billion when Trump announced China tariffs. But by all means please continue explaining how Musk could benefit financiallly from the Trump agenda given MAGA’s love for EV mandates, oil restrictions, and subsidizing foreign countries that sell American made EVs.

Green new deal right ? Rather that than windmills. They are armored. Not sure if we’ve been retrofitting armored vehicles. Would guess Tesla does it better and cheaper.

Oof! 50B? That’s gonna put a dent in his aspirations to be the world’s first trillionaire.

And I mean, come on, he deserves it? He’s super smart and outworks everyone. While I’m sleeping or spending time with my family, he is tweeting around the clock!

But yeah, I’m sure Elon is spending all this bandwidth on DOGE out of the goodness of his heart. In no way does he expect any sort of quid pro quo. He’s just really into America first!

And now that we have made government more “efficient“ no more of those pesky hoops to jump through for federal contracts, just pick your buddies!

Honestly, though, it’s a super smart move by our state department. The cyber trucks are incredibly reliable.

Not sure if you’ve ever jumped through any of the hoops but the last 4 years were horrible. Put the breaks on growth and drove up prices if you could get anything done. Ive got a project on hold now, waiting for Trump reinstate his policy from first term. And trust me Bidens policy did absolutely nothing of benefit.

OP has ED. (Elon Derangement) and persistent TDS.

Standing by for more lashing out after RFK and Kash are confirmed, hopefully this week.

except for GDP growth under Biden, which outpaced expectations as well as every other developed country in the world. You gotta do your research man.

Well let’s give the worst US President in modern day times an ATTA BOY! LMAO..Of course you don’t mention that it was his terrible energy policies that caused the economic issues in the first place. They were the root cause of the terrible economic conditions the entire world was in….the policies that caused record inflation and got your party’s sorry ass fired.

Yeah, believing the government's economic lies/statistics over the last 4 years is not a position I would stake out.
 
I'm in emotional crisis at this moment.

AOC and the lib/dims want the New Green Deal and Climate Change everything but I'm struggling to decide if I care more about the 4-8 year old Congo children slaving 18 hours a day in the cobalt mines or the 1 million gallons of fresh water it takes to process 1 gotdayum ton of cobalt. 🤷‍♂️

Exactly why they got voted out. I saw it everyday with complaints. They left their base behind. Crazy thing is even after an unprecedented shift in the last election, none of them want to believe it still. Please continue thinking things were great. We won’t see a democrat again until they look in the mirror. Biden sold out the country. He lied about his mental health, and let the whacky way left run his party. And he paid for it. With embarrassment and being asked to leave. Can’t wait for dr. Jill’s book about the whole thing. Will have my popcorn ready. Meanwhile, more people register as pubs every day.

Not my party. Furthest thing from a democrat.

Trump 45 was the worst president in history.

By every indication, Trump 47 inherited in economy in outstanding shape. Let’s see how he torpedoes it.

It’s like when folks get their economic “fax“ via satellite Internet in Dickfer, GA it’s like it glitches and spits out MAGA talking points. Very strange.

It’s the best he can do….serious TDS..if not a Dem, then he needs to join the party..anyone that says
“Trump Inherited an economy in outstanding shape” has not gone to the grocery store lately or the last three years for that matter…I was unaware that record high food cost had gone down, or gas increases from the last four yrs were back to 2019 prices…everyday Americans spending their hard earned money would not agree with such a sentiment

How about all you guys just admit that you are fine with corruption cronyism and an oligarchy of billionaires running the country? Would make it so much easier than tying yourself in knots trying to defend the obvious. MAGA likes to talk a lot about the constitution, parading around with constitution T-shirts, and stickers on their giant truck. But now that the constitution is being clearly ignored, just own it and admit you are cool with a strong man regime.

Good lord. Not one honest thing there. You feel so threatened by what? Someone trying to clean up the system. The corruption just left the building. You know the one who lied about his son and brother’s actions. The one who covered up his lack of mental acuity. Then the media helped cover it up as well, along with covering up for the moron you likely voted for Kamala. The lies and corruption from the left are at an alltime high. I get anyone who doesn’t like Trump. I don’t get anyone who considers themselves conservative who can like more than 10 percent of what the Biden/kamala administration stood for. You want to bang on Trump. Fine. You are certainly not the first. I am prone to do it as well when he drives me crazy. But to not admit the trainwreck that was the last administration is agenda driven, blind and just plain derangement

What makes Trump the word president of all time? You do understand that the country literally split into 2 under Buchanan… anyone that claims any other president is the worst of all time clearly has no idea about what they are talking about (even the ones that say Biden) and should not be taken seriously

I am fine with a billionaire running the country. Id be fine with a homeless man running the country. The size of their bank account means nothing.

What part of the constitution is being ignored by this administration compared to previous admins?

Man, this place is a hoot. I think y’all have your Oakley wrap around shades on a little tight or have inhaled too many diesel fumes from your F3500. I do like to dip in occasionally just to take the temperature of how gullible our electorate has become. Or at least the C and D county retiree slice of the electorate.

Anyway, you guys have fun cooling down your BDS after getting worked up by the angertainment industry.

Like any good cult you’ve got to accept everything dear leader says. Youd think when Republicans died at twice the rate of the rest of the population after COVID vaccines were introduced, or their Trump meme coins became worthless overnight they would begin to see the grift.

I’ll check back in a few months once all economic indicators are pointing downward. I don’t expect any of you cult members to have changed your tune, massive Stockholm syndrome. It’s really too bad, the economy was humming right along. Sad!

Anyway, I have a business to go run, enjoy your “mandate”🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh I get it. You can only be an Oakley wearing truck driving redneck to be allowed to support Trump. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. That is so clever.

The economy was humming right a long other than the 36 percent approval rating it kept getting over the last three years. That was the problem. People who could afford Oakley’s and the new 100000 dollar price tag on 3500’s weren’t affected by the economy. 🤦‍♂️. The new truck price doubled during his four years. That is what hurt Biden and anyone touting the economy.

You should probably complain to Biden, since the Trump administration had nothing to do with it (LINK)

"The U.S. government has not awarded Tesla a contract to produce “armored” electric cars, a State Department spokesperson said Thursday, clarifying a budget document that appeared to detail the agency’s plan to spend $400 million on vehicles from Elon Musk’s automotive giant.

The spokesperson told MSNBC that the Biden administration asked the State Department to “explore interest from private companies to produce electric vehicles.” In response to that request last year, the agency made a request for information to “solicit interest.”

...but, don't let facts get in the way of some misplaced condescension, I guess.

Waiting for a dim to admit that fraud, waste and corruption anywhere within the federal government is bad and needs to be investigated immediately.

Speak for yourself. Our company has seen more growth the past four years than the four years prior. Now that trump is back and wanting to start trade wars, we are having to buy things now out of fear that they won't be available or too expensive. Trump is an idiot. Four bankruptcies? Yeah, that's who we want running this country.

I guess that is great. Again. More than you lives in this country. There is an all time high of credit card debt. Now defaulting at more than double the rate since the second quarter of 2021. I guess that is trump’s fault too. We had an idiot running the country. Who made the rich richer and the poor poorer. Systematically eliminating the middle class. Eventually that isn’t good for me or you. Bigger picture is worth a look sometimes. A change was sorely needed. The dipshit in charge thought like you everything was just great. It isn’t.

The previous fella was near bankruptcy when he became vp in 2008. He is worth millions now. How many politicians out there make 200 grand a year and are now worth millions. Trump is a lot of things. Not all good. But this needs to happen. Hope the hurt to your business doesn’t happen for too long. Thanks to Biden and ridiculous inflation my business has sucked gorilla penis for the last three years. Cheers. Now it isn’t just hurting me but everyone

First of all inflation was a global issue. Second, you can't have a red hot economy forever. It isn't sustainable. Steady growth is always better than fast growth followed by a steep decline (i.e. recession). Almost everyone predicted a recession ion Biden's 1st or 2nd year, but it never happened. Unemployment was at a record low. The stock market performed very well.

In 2020, former President Donald Trump warned that the historic stock market boom on his watch would implode if voters replaced him with Joe Biden.


“If you want your 401k’s and stocks…to disintegrate and disappear, vote for the Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats and Corrupt Joe Biden,” Trump tweeted in July 2020.

It was an ominous warning from a president who, more than his predecessors, obsessed over market gains and viewed them as a real-time barometer of his success. In reality, with Biden in the White House, the US stock market not only preserved those Trump-era gains, but generated even more massive ones for millions of Americans’ 401(k) plans, nest eggs and college savings plans.
The S&P 500, the gold-standard market index of 500 US stocks, has posted a compound annual growth rate of 14.1% from Biden’s November 2020 election through Thursday’s closing bell (11/1/2024), according to veteran market strategist Sam Stovall of CFRA Research. The S&P 500 enjoyed a compound annual growth rate of 12.1% from Trump’s surprise election in November 2016 through Biden’s 2020 victory, according to CFRA. That’s the third best performance in modern history, behind only Clinton and Biden.

Now the dufus in charge is starting global trade wars to try and get the global trade genie back in the bottle. I hate to break it to you but we are in a global economy. That genie isn't going back in. We import lots of raw materials that we do not have -- See Africa. We are not the only player in town. China is a huge player on the global market. The more we follow an isolationist policy, the fewer trade partners we'll have. They will turn to China, the Middle East (Saudia Arabia), and Europe. We are not the big badass global dominating economy that once were. Making enemies of everyone except for oligarch driven countries like Russia is not going to lead to a better america. It is going to lead to the rich getting richer and the rest of us fighting over scraps. You want to be Mexico? Russia? Keep this up and that's where we will end up.

The ability to eliminate government agencies that are investigating his companies. Largest government contractor to easily win more contracts. TRILLIONS in tax savings. Great investment to literally purchase the Presidency of the US. I LOVE Elon the engineer and have followed TSLA for years and own a good deal of stock. I'm all for finding and eliminating fraud and waste, but cutting agencies and absolutely lying to the public about what he's finding is really bad. This will come back to haunt all of us. Check on our farmers, elderly, and poorer families as they will get decimated.
