This is so stupid. Its the definition of government waste.
Hmmm, does Elon know? He'll lose direct connect info from all those vehicles.
I doubt he’ll mind, considering he’ll buy the assets for pennies on the dollar.
I thought they won’t even buy back their own vehicles anymore.
Didn’t they just order 400 million with of armored cybertrucks?
Edit: seems it’s million, not billion
That was 400 million. It looks like they are denying it, but there's still a procurement for 400 million of "armored electric trucks". https://checkyourfact.com/2025/02/18/fact-check-state-department-400-million-worth-tesla-trucks/
No, that was canceled after they were publicly called out. We need to stay vigilant
It wasnt canceled they just renamed it to “armored electric trucks” iirc
Which means that other companies at least hypothetically can bid.
Oh my sweet summer child
Hey bud, fuck off. The best way to fight fascism besides literal warfare is to shine a light directly on its shittiness. This change in wording may seem small, but we need to fight the changes that are coming tooth and nail. Condescendingly discouraging all nonviolent resistance by acting as if it's useless/hopeless is a great way to make violence inevitable.
Why? Just why?
The same reason Regan never put back up the solar panels Carter had installed.
What do you mean "never put back"
They dont uninstall themselves between adminstrations. Its an intentional act to remove them.
Here, I’ll do your research for you.
