The US State Department plans to spend $400 million on 'Armored Tesla' vehicles over five years starting in 2025, prompting outrage over potential conflicts of interest with CEO Elon Musk. Critics have pointed out the absurdity of spending such funds on vehicles from a company led by someone who has frequently accused the government of financial misconduct. Despite controversy around Tesla's quality control and Musk's denials of knowledge about the procurement, the item remains in the budget, indicating potential continuation of the contract.
Many argued that spending this much money on armored EVs flew in the face of Musk and his DOGE Boys' alleged efforts to reduce wasteful spending.
Others took aim at Tesla's infamously shoddy workmanship, pointing out the potential dangers of being inside an armored vehicle that automatically locks when its battery ignites.
