Make good products well that others can rely on. Hope others do the same.

@atrupar You think there’s no fraud?

@DOGE @usedgov @StateDept can you beat it today? Got $400M lying around?

@SawyerMerritt Hummer EV is made in Michigan

@elonmusk @SawyerMerritt This is transparency?? Cut the money. Figure out the details later.

@SawyerMerritt What is DOGE waiting for? Cut first, questions later. Isn’t that the whole idea? No reason to be more thoughtful than for humanitarian foreign aid, wouldn’t you think? This is not about rural internet access or rescuing astronauts where the cost/performance are obviously better

@DOGE @epaleezeldin @EPA Any ideas on how to save another $400M?

@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @DOGE But how can we be sure it wasn’t a rapper from Mozambique?

@SawyerMerritt Looks a bit like government waste, probably not appropriate use of deficit spending

@Rothmus Probably a lot explained by timing being short, and the terms not exactly set (folks were replying to an email, not signing a contract)

@shaunmmaguire Yea…”laying the groundwork” is the tell A general rule should be when claiming corruption exists or is growing…put up or shut up. Applies to DOGE, MAGA, Democrats…

@ChrisMurphyCT Billionaires are always doing fine

That’s a new word salad! Regardless, there are plenty of other organizations who can protest this name change. It would be interesting to see if AP takes same stance on all other contested names across the world. More generally tho, News shouldn’t be the news so often. We all need to focus on our missions if we’re gonna get anything done in this new world.

@elonmusk How would you judge pointless?

@tsarnick Unfortunate that he just ruined the phrase “not a serious person”

@SawyerMerritt What does it mean if DOGE doesn’t cancel it?

@Victorshi2020 Last time Mark flooded the zone it didn’t end well

@SawyerMerritt Careful!

@Teslarati So it sounds like a Biden admin vanity project to source armored EVs? So DOGE will probably recommend to cancel it right? Right? Before you answer, think honestly how you’d feel if Hummer was the leading contender…..

@elonmusk @maddow Question fairly remains, do we really need this contract anymore? Seems like it’s in scope for DOGE to ensure we can’t squeeze more life out of existing fleet, trying times and all

@niccruzpatane Has DOGE had a look?
