Tesla’s name was quietly scrubbed from a State Department forecast that had suggested Elon Musk’s company was set to receive a $400 million payday.
On Wednesday, the agency’s 2025 fiscal procurement projection had highlighted plans to spend big with a five-year contract for “Armored Tesla,” Drop Site News reported.
Hours after the story published, though, the publicly visible spreadsheet was altered to remove Tesla’s name. The line item now says that the contract will be for “armored electric vehicles,” without specifying a particular supplier.
