Elon Musk savaged as SpaceX gets new $40m defense contract amid his cutting of federal spending

Elon Musk prompted yet another heavy backlash online after it was revealed that his rocket company SpaceX was still receiving multi-million dollar contracts from the U.S. government amid his crusade to slash trillions of federal funding.

“You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit,” attorney and researcher Will Stancil wrote on X.

Stancil shared a screenshot that appeared to confirm that Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX) was awarded a NASA contract worth just shy of $39 million on Tuesday.

$40 million in defensive spending would have the same buying power as what ever coins are in-between your sofa pillows to your houshold budget

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.

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."

So you fire the Inspector Generals who's job it is to do exactly that, you phucking moron. Maybe do an audit or investigation , not fire thousands of good employees who do their jobs the right way. Assholes like yourself are too stupid to understand that , you are a trump cult memeber to a T


And again I ask you why didn't trump do any of this in his first four years?

1. He is as much to blame as anyone.
