    Since they started, how much money in subsidies found its way directly to the American co-president anyway?

      Co-president? Elon is the only president.

      well, the one that hit the news recently is that bullshit $400m ‘armored tesla’ contract for state department. the one they ‘oopsed’ and went back to remove tesla by name from.

        That whole thing sounds rather counterintuitive. Armor is supposed to protect the occupants of the vehicle, but Tesla’s crown jewel of armored* trucks has a track record of spontaneous system failures that put its occupants in direct harm.

        *with glass windows and steel sheet metal that can’t stop a bullet.

        Looks like that was initiated under the Biden administration?

        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.

          Doesn’t matter. Musk must withdrawal his company from consideration due to conflict of interest.

            He’s not elected. He couldn’t give a f about conflict of interest.

        Was the cybertruck just a soft prototype of the TeslaTank© ?
