The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase.

The State Department said it planned to embark on a giant purchase of armored vehicles from Tesla, before the listing was edited to omit any reference to Elon Musk’s company.

The State Department tells Fox News Digital that the original entry should have been "generic" and no government contract has been awarded to Tesla for armored electric vehicles.
