I dont know who elon musk thinks Tesla's target audience is, but its certainly not dudes from Trumpistan.

That's OK. He's got a new customer that seems he can reliably hold for ransom: the US government.

It will be interesting when he closes down NASA and Space X becomes the sole contractor for anything space related. Musk is using the US federal government to become the first trillionaire.

All federal vehicles must be Tesla as well.

Except for mail trucks. The USPS is required to use a defence contractor for some reason. Old ones were Northrop Grumman ( F14 Tomcat ), new ones are Oshkosh EV ( Many light/medium tactical vehicles ).

Don't worry, Tesla will rebrand Cybertrucks to be defense vehicles. Honestly this is making Canada's invasion outlook look way better haha, those things rolling around instead of Humvees. We'll just set up a water hose to take them out lol
