This process was started under Biden. He asked for companies to express interest or “bid”. Only 1 did. Trump and Rubio both say they have no interest in pursuing it. Not all info was provided in all the links and hysteria.

Why would the State Department need a few hundred armored Cybertrucks for transportation in and around US cities?

Plus, who is doing the armoring work?

If I need an armored vehicle, I’d prefer a better made vehicle than a Tesla, especially a CyberTruck.

There is an armoring specialist listed as a party in one of the articles I read, though it usually specializes in armoring for private customers IIRC.
 

Trump administration says it has no plans to fulfill $400 million 'armored Tesla' contract​



“The State Department said Thursday it is abandoning plans of purchasing $400 million worth of armored Tesla vehicles after a public document detailing federal contracts for fiscal year 2025 gained wide attention.

That expected purchase of Teslas, which was slated for September of this year, is now on hold, according to the State Department, which now says it has no plans of fulfilling the contract.

… After reports circulated Wednesday night of the State Department's intent to purchase Tesla vehicles, NPR noticed that the document was edited, at 9:12 p.m., to say the federal contract is for $400 million worth of "armored electric vehicles," but the word "Tesla" was removed.

…
The Tesla contract started in the Biden administration "to explore interest from private companies to produce armored electric vehicles," a State Department spokesperson said on Thursday.

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 compete for the contract. But now, the solicitation is on hold, according to the State Department spokesperson. …”
 
There's no way Elon fathered all those kids. You know he pays people to level up his video game characters? Yeah, I don't think that's the only thing he's been paying for.
 
Personally, I’m fine with Musk fathering a lot of US citizens. Imagine the average IQ of the bunch. Plus, he can afford ‘em.
