The U.S. State Department was expected to award Elon Musk’s Tesla a $400 million contract for armored vehicles, but the word “Tesla” was removed from the procurement document. The procurement document was revised to indicate an intent to purchase “armored electric vehicles” without specifically naming Tesla.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Musk would avoid conflicts of interest but did not provide details on how.
