> This contract was signed in December, during the Biden administration
You’ve posted this comment more than once without proof. Here is a comment from someone else which indicates (with references!) that it is part of a procurement forecast and is not yet an actual contract:
December is technically Biden administration but it's blatantly obvious why it was signed. The election results are out and they saw musk as the president and that the military has the most to lose if things get really cut. Someone there is being clever and throwing money to musk to ensure it doesn't get cut.
