In a recent segment, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow reported that the U.S. State Department planned to award Tesla a $400 million contract for armored electric vehicles. Elon Musk responded on X (formerly Twitter), denying any knowledge of such a deal and questioning the accuracy of Maddow’s report. Fox News host Jesse Watters highlighted that the alleged contract would have been awarded during President Joe Biden’s administration, not under former President Donald Trump.
