>Does Musk even want to be CEO anymore? He hasn't seemed to care about Tesla ever since he had to settle with the SEC He recently got a contract with the State Department for 400 million to make armored Cybertrucks so he is still involved with Tesla. Musk wants to do whatever he wants without other people saying whether he can or can't. Every agency on his DOGE hit list was an agency that was investigating him. I'm sure he wants to be involved with SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla but these pesky things called regulations and investigations keep getting in his way so he has decided to tear it all down.

> He recently got a contract with the State Department for 400 million to make armored Cybertrucks That doesn't appear to be the case - there (was) an entry on a spreadsheet about 'Armored Teslas' but Musk claims to know nothing about it, the State Department has stated it was just an estimate for a proposal they are no longer pursuing, and the ledger entry has been removed. So no, not a "contract for armored Cybertrucks" [0]https://www.npr.org/2025/02/24/nx-s1-5305269/tesla-state-department-elon-musk-trump https://www.npr.org/2025/02/24/nx-s1-5305269/tesla-state-dep...

  Tesla has gotten more than $13 billion in government contracts in the past five years. There's no reason to think this rate will decrease. At least not in the next 4 years
