State Department plan to buy $400M worth of armored vehicles from Musk
By ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON
The deal with Tesla was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers before the plans were put on hold. His companies obtain hundreds of millions of dollars each year in contracts. SpaceX has secured nearly $20 billion in federal funds since 2008 to ferry astronauts and satellites into space. And Tesla had already received $41.9 million from the U.S. government, including payment for vehicles provided to some U.S. embassies.

Maybe that is the motivation for all those cuts Muck is making.
I do wonder where that money is going to go and suspect it will just go towards Turd Lump's corrupt projects for his billionaire buddies to get it.
Like this one for example.

It was the BIDEN administration that expressed an interest.
The Biden administration had tasked the State Department to gather information from potential suppliers to buy these vehicles in September.
