I am fairly confident that little jimmy isn’t going to see your post and question the validity of the armored EVs being an idea from the Biden admin, the lefty “news” sources he uses has told him it was Trump.

Yes, Biden admin was planning to purchase $480,000 of armored teslas. That was probable 1 or 2 cars. TRUMP CHANGED IT TO $400,000,000. Small difference there.
Yea…your research is lacking. I’d say “do better”, but you won’t.

Geeze Marco. Why was it when you were a Senator and thus, part of Congress which is charged with government spending, you did nothing – NOTHING – about waste, fraud and abuse at USAID or any giverment program. What changed? Did you suddenly grow a spine?
Everyone has done nothing for many years. Seems like your/our energy could be in moving forward, no? Your response is the same as nearly all of my customers when we do this work. Nothing special, but still not the right path.

Big and easy win changing the limits. Huge reduction in risk. A nearly free intermediate step to likely cancelling many/most.

Do better. Aren’t you the one always talking about doing your research.
This is a quote from an NPR article and considering that NPR is about as far left as it goes.
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.
P.S. It was $400 million.
It was awarded after election but before Trump inauguration. Some have said it was done deliberately to make Trump/Musk look bad.

If you read the above, the original sourcing document was from December.
I deliberately included the worst look from 2 very left news organizations I am not worried about party lines. I’ve said repeatedly that waste comes from both sides.
In case you missed the interesting and relevant part.
Tesla was the only company to express interest in the department’s request at the time.
Tesla was the only company to express interest in the department’s request at the time.
It’s almost like Tesla has a Board of Directors that makes business decisions on its own. But in case you missed it.
Tesla was the only company to express interest in the department’s request at the time.
Elon Musk owns substantial shares in 3 of the highest tech companies in the space in which they operate in and are the most dominant.
As an aside Elon Musk lost $145 billion since the election. That’s how much lower Musk’s $319 billion net worth is than his record $464 billion set in December, according to the latest calculations. Musk, Tesla’s largest shareholder, is still worth roughly $110 billion more than any other person on Earth.
At the level of wealth that Elon Musk operates it really doesn’t matter if he is worth $500 Billion, hell even a Trillion. It’s more money than he could spend in a dozen lifetimes.

I want to see D.O.G.E. put out a score card evaluating each elected federal representative and senator on the basis of what they have accomplished (including their voting record) vs. their cumulative salary, putting forth a recommendation as to which should be “fired”.
