Doctored contract revealed $400 million for Teslas

[Rideback]

Quite a scandal: Biden was prepared to spend a few hundred thousand dollars on Teslas for the State Department, and the Trump administration altered that to $400 MILLION, then back-dated the records to make it look like Biden did it.
State canceled the contract after @DropSiteNews exposed it.
BREAKING: NPR has obtained a State Department document revealing that the Biden administration planned to allocate only $483,000 in the 2025 fiscal year for electric vehicle purchases—far less than the $400 million Drop Site revealed was being set aside for Tesla vehicles under the Trump administration (until a recent quiet revision to the procurement document).
A former White House official familiar with the plans suggested the $400 million allocation to Tesla was a deliberate move, not a clerical error.
The State Department and Tesla had agreed to research armoring electric vehicles under Biden, but no funds had been earmarked for “Armored” Teslas. The approved $483,000 budget was intended for light-duty EVs, and another $3 million was set aside for supporting equipment, like charging stations.
The revised procurement document indicates it was originally published in December, at the end of then-President Joe Biden's term, but it doesn’t appear in the Internet Archive for that month.
