    Car dependency is an issue and a major one in the US, but this is almost completely separate. It’s all about the blatant corruption of the president’s leashholder’s company getting a sweet contract that’s actually trash for the government because Cybertrucks just plain suck even if you love cars.

    The president literally put Musk in charge of reducing government spending… And then while people are getting laid off left and right, his company is getting a 400M contract for something it hasn’t even made to any real scale, whereas plenty of other companies have: armored cars.
