>The article is misinformation, does not once mention that the contract was created during the Biden admin .... >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. Straight from the article. are you satisfied now? We can point fingers all we want. I think the important thing is results and that this clear conflict of interst was caught, forced a statement, and stopped in its tracks early. Any reactions to such news is trivial in comparison. as an aside, I'll note Musk responded to this exactly as usual: >Responding to a segment by MSNBC's Rachel Maddow about the $400 million contract, Musk wrote on X on Wednesday night: "Hey @Maddow, why the lie?". Right around the same time as the edit. I can't even muster the sarcasm to respond to this one. >After reports circulated Wednesday night of the State Department's intent to purchase Tesla vehicles, NPR noticed that the document was edited, at 9:12 p.m., to say the federal contract is for $400 million worth of "armored electric vehicles," but the word "Tesla" was removed.
