State Department to Buy Tesla Cybertrucks. Musk and Trump Relationship in Focus.


Published on Thursday, February 13th 2025 at 19:41 GMT by MSN   Print publication without navigation

  • It's hard not to see a potential conflict of interest with the EV maker's CEO Elon Musk running President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

The U.S. State Department is set to purchase Tesla Cybertrucks for its Diplomatic Security Service, highlighting a significant endorsement of Tesla's electric vehicles by the government. This move comes amidst a backdrop of Elon Musk's complex relationship with former President Donald Trump, which has been under scrutiny due to Musk's recent interactions with Trump and his potential influence on the 2024 election. Musk has publicly stated he would not donate to any presidential candidates, yet his meetings with Trump and discussions about policy and business have raised questions about his political affiliations. The Cybertruck acquisition also reflects broader trends in government procurement of electric vehicles, aiming to reduce emissions and modernize fleets, while Musk's involvement in politics continues to be a point of interest and contention.
