  • Wasteful Spending

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 13 07:04:18 2025
    The State Department said it was planning to buy $400 million worth of
    armored Teslas this year. https://www.businessinsider.com/state-department-buy-400-million-worth-armored-teslas-2025-2

    I wonder if Elon will eliminate this wasteful spending?

    When they explode, does the armor become shrapnel or does it keep the
    disaster contained a la that Cybertruck in Las Vegas?

    I suspect these days, he is chauffeur-driven

    26 July 2023

    He was spotted taking the Cybertruck prototype for a spin around Los
    Angeles in 2019 and has made it clear that model will become his new
    go-to car.
    ...
    More recently, however, Musk has been photographed travelling in a chauffeur-driven Tesla Model Y or Model 3 when attending corporate
    commitments or travelling abroad.
