Musk slammed as State Department reveals plan to buy $400m in ‘armored’ Teslas in biggest contract of 2025


I'm fine with cost cutting and saving money but they are slashing without thought of consequences. There are ways without disrupting the entire Government. This is being done stickily for revenge and Musk is lying as much as trump. It's like disciplining a child, you can punish them without beating them. Good legitimate good employees are losing jobs and when we find that out it will be too late. The cost of replacing them will be twice what they think they are saving and that new employee might not be as good becuase no one who know what to do was there to train them.

You so fucking dumb. This contract was exclusively pursued by the Biden Administration

The State Department official said via email that the Biden administration "asked the Department of State to explore interest from private companies to produce armored electric vehicles." In response, the department released a public request for information on armored electric vehicles "to solicit interest" and "received interest from only one company at that time": Tesla, which responded on May 31, 2024.

The official said the next step in this process would be "an official solicitation," where vehicle manufacturers would bid for a contract. However, Trump's administration put the solicitation on hold and "there are no current plans to issue it."

Fucking retard

New document casts doubt on Trump admin denials about $400m ‘armored Tesla’ contract: report

Newly obtained records reportedly appear to indicate that President Donald Trump’s State Department was in fact aiming to arrange a $400 million government contract with one of Elon Musk's companies, even as it downplayed the lucrative deal when it was exposed by the media.

The State Department said after the reports earlier this month that it was abandoning plans to buy $400 million worth of "armored electric vehicles” that had earlier listed Tesla as the intended provider in its own document.

The record had been quickly scrubbed to eliminate mention of Tesla following news reports of the pricey contract going to a company even as the CEO of that same company, Elon Musk, was working for the government firing people and cutting other contracts as head of the Department of Government Accountability in what appeared to be a tremendous conflict of interest.

Musk’s Starlink gets FAA contract, raising new conflict of interest concerns


https://news.yahoo.com/news/finance/...133016424.html

The Federal Aviation Administration has agreed to use SpaceX’s Starlink internet system to upgrade the information technology networks it uses to manage US airspace, raising new concerns about conflicts of interest for CEO Elon Musk in one of his other roles, that of recommending funding cuts at federal agencies, including the FAA.

The size of this contract was not immediately reported. SpaceX is a privately held space technology company greatly dependent on federal contracts, primarily from NASA. Its Starlink satellite internet provides service for government and private customers around the world.

The Hill
Hegseth: Fired military lawyers were potential ‘roadblocks’ to Trump orders


Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday that the three fired judge advocates general (JAGs) were potential “roadblocks” to President Trump’s orders.

“It’s not about roadblocks to an agenda,” Hegseth told reporters when asked how the military lawyers present roadblocks.

“It’s roadblocks to orders that are given by a commander in chief,” he said

It adds up, why shouldn’t American taxpayers demand full transparency of where their money goes?

When it comes to solving, implementing basic risk controls will not only save likely billions of future money spent, it will create efficiencies for the workers and the customers.

What’s the argument here, this is like illegal immigration policies….democrat still have no answer to why they stood for illegals coming over the border, unvetted and just released onto our streets.

You don’t want transparency with our tax money, improvements and controls for spending to fight waste, fraud and abuse? I don’t get it

this part is funny:

The doge.gov/savings page then lists a "wall of receipts," DOGE's first major data release that initially claimed to show more than $16 billion in savings from ending contracts. After correcting an apparent clerical error, it now shows $8.5 billion.

"oh bob remember when you were adding up the doge savings, you accidental put in $8.00 on one line item as $8,000,000,000, just an oversight but lets be more careful with our zeros, comas, and decimals next time. Now lets get back to work we need to lay off some nuclear engineers."

Critics Tee Off On ‘Hypocrite’ Trump’s Brazen New Complaint About Federal Workers


Trump, who loves golf and is frequently seen on the course, said federal workers spend too much time golfing and not enough time in the office.

The president said he would end remote work policies and, as a result, added that federal workers will need to show up in person or they will be fired.

“Show up to work in person like the rest of us,” Trump said in Miami on Wednesday. “You can’t work at home. They’re not working. They’re playing tennis, they’re playing golf, or they have other jobs. But they’re not working, or they’re certainly not working hard.”


Are you fucking kidding me???

I think this is actually good, show the mistakes.

In the case of “it’s not worth it” is crazy, 1 billion in savings a laughable huge number.

the people who don’t want transparency look foolish.

How do liberals cheer the government going after individuals venmo transactions to tax…yet say cutting government waste and fraud isn’t worth it?

if you are adding up 16 billion of anything and someone comes back to you and says oh by the way 8 billion of counting skills was wrong, i mean that is kind of embarrassing

and just because trump says something is transparent doesn't mean it just isn't a lie

you also need to understand govt spending; you can go around cleaning up ULO (unliquidated obligations) and say you saved all this $$; all you did was take away the obligation and most likely if you understand the color of govt money it has probably all ready lost its ability to be disbursed; its basically dead money

This seems like a smart thing to do!!!
