The billionaire jumped on X to deny the allegations, as it was widely reported Wednesday that the Trump administration intended to spend $400 million on "armored” Tesla electric vehicles in one of the State Department’s biggest contracts of 2025.
No one mentioned it to me, at least,’ Musk swiped on X. Elon Musk has denied that the U.S. government is planning on purchasing $400 million worth of Tesla Cybertrucks.
However, Musk’s half-hearted response left room for speculation as while he denied Tesla would receive $400 million, he failed to outright deny that his company would receive anything at all.
The omission emerged as the world’s richest man, Musk, was found to still be receiving multi-million dollar contract payouts from the U.S. government for his rocket company, SpaceX, while his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team promises to gut government spending.
Meanwhile, he's teed up to win a $400 million contract making armored Tesla cars for the State Department.
