The U.S. is slashing food assistance, education, and Medicare while firing a huge chunk of the government workforce.
Where’s the money going?
$600 million for “armored Teslas.”
Yes, it’s real.
The same crowd that killed the “woke” electric postal vehicles is now buying overpriced, poorly made armored EVs
Corruption: found

Not to mention the armoured BMW's??
do they come with a 120mm cannon?
sadly, this budget item first appeared in December while Biden was still president.
No doubt it meets MIL spec.
@flexghost they took it down, but with an update at 2/12/25 @21:12
they appear to be following your posts, LOL
But... Teslas burn like road flares...
Grifters gonna grift.
I am impressed with Tesla's military ingenuity, in reviving a terrifying tactic of 16th-Century naval battles, and applying it to modern land warfare: the fire ship.
@flexghost Was trying to verify this, and the line says:
"Armored Electric Vehicles" (at least it does now)
@flexghost Ooo...
That line item was modified on 2/12/2025 (for the rest of the world, that Feb 12, 2025 in US speak)
They changed the name of the line item.

I'm sure people will feel perfectly safe riding around in an armoured Cybertruck.
