    Didn’t this guy break one of the “bulletproof” windows on a Cybertruck with a metal ball he threw at it?

    Why would anyone serious trust this company to make a.legitimate military vehicle?

      Because this is an obvious handout from the government to musk. You know all the fraud and waste his little department is supposedly rooting out? Here is actual fraud, in plain sight

      anyone serious

      That’s the catch - there are no serious people left in any position of authority in the US.

      To be clear, the contract said “armored Teslas” which could mean a Tesla 3 being retrofitted with armor. It did not specifically specify the Cybertruck.

        My question still remains: why would you trust this company that demonstrated their own ineptitude on stage?

          I wouldn’t. Sorry, I was just clarifying. There’s zero reason to trust them.

      For years the army wanted to junk one of their tanks because it performed poorly and was too expensive to maintain. But because of our limitless lobbying system, the makers of the tank made their factories in key House districts. Every time it came up for renewal it passed with bipartisan support.

      Because no representative wants to be the one that closed jobs for their constituents.
