Wow, this false statement and these comments just falling in line with the leftist narrative even when it's based on pure lies.
Here are the facts.
- this solicitation for purchasing armored electric vehicles was initiated by the Biden administration.
- when Trump/Musk found out about this, they actually halted it
> In a statement, the State Department said the contract started in the Biden administration "to explore interest from private companies to produce armored electric vehicles."
>Tesla was the only company to express interest in the department's request at the time.
>Typically the next step would be "an official solicitation" for vehicle manufacturers to bid. But the solicitation is now on hold, according to a State Department spokesperson.
