Musk claimed to be unaware of the contract, writing on his social media platform that "no one mentioned it to me, at least."

Tesla is one of several Musk-led companies that have benefited from around $13 billion in federal contractsover the past five years.

As totally unaware of it as Trump was of Project 2025.
