You guys leapt to the conclusion that this looks like perhaps a kind of self-dealing. This is something the Biden administration did. And we're not even fulfilling it. This was like, you guys are mad at Trump. You should be mad at Biden. Like the eggs on your face, journalists. That's right. Yeah. At this point, it felt a lot like the story was done.

If the State Department's telling the truth, and it was Joe Biden's people who initiated this Tesla deal, then no one thinks there's a conflict of interest here. At this point, Bobby's curiosity was still alive, but it wasn't clear what he could do with it.

As a rule-following journalist for NPR, it's like the government has made a statement. We know that when the government makes a statement, you put in the story. As a human being, student of the internet, and follower of Elon Musk's many statements, what were you thinking as a person?

Bobby only read a part of this email to protect the identity of his source, but essentially the source was saying they'd had real knowledge of the actual plans for how Biden's State Department planned to spend money in 2025. And those plans did not involve sending $400 million to Tesla.

What ensues is days of the wheedling, behind-the-scenes conversations that are the most boring but consequential parts of being a reporter. And in the end, the source agrees to send the document to Bobby. Actually, it gets picked up by an intermediary. But Bobby finally gets the document, this shred of proof he was looking for.

Oh, interesting.

So here, Bobby could actually see what Biden State Department's intentions had been. to set aside a relatively small amount of money to explore the possibility of making electric some of the armored cars that diplomats and other employees used to get around in places that could be dangerous.
