Liberals are not spewing disinformation, but rather picked up his trails whenever Elon and Trump are doing during his first week of presidency.
Looks like Madcow, majority of Left media are spreading the same disinformation and their sheep are eating it up like ice cream on hot day.
"The State Dept. confirmed that no government contract had been awarded to Tesla or any other vehicle manufacturer. It said that the Biden administration had asked it to look into how it might add armor to off-the-shelf electric vehicles and it was in the early stages of the project.
The State Department has an entire division that just deals in armor. It’s called the DSS Defensive Equipment and Armored Vehicle Division (DEAV). It spends a lot of money buying armored vehicles and paying people to put armor on vehicles.
Further backing up what State said is this Request for Information (RFI) that DEAV put out on April 23, 2024. An RFI is one of the very early stages of a government contract. It’s a way for the feds to ask businesses how they might do something and what it might cost without actually awarding the cash.
This specific RFI asked for companies to tell them how they might armor an electric vehicle. “The scope encompasses the design and development, prototype fabrication, and test and evaluation of an electric armored vehicle (sedan, mid-size SUV, or large SUV),” it said. “This requirement only covers design and modifications to existing Commercial platform(s) and components required for the sole purpose of meeting Government’s unique armored vehicle (AV) program needs.”
The State Department told me that only one company responded to its RFI (Tesla). “As a next step in that process, an official solicitation would be sent out to vehicle manufacturers to bid,” a State Department Spokesperson said. “However, the solicitation is on hold and there are no current plans to issue it.”
As Drop Site News and others have pointed out, this procurement document was modified on December 13, 2024, several weeks before Donald Trump took office. The RFI was also issued long before the election took place. The original spreadsheet also includes lines for “Armored EV (NOT SEDANS)” and “ARMORED BMW.” So it looks like this planning document is in line with other public documents and pretty normal.
