This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Tesla, whose chief executive, Elon Musk, has been advising President Trump on how to cut government spending, is likely to receive a lucrative contract to supply armored versions of its Cybertruck pickup to the State Department, according to public documents.
