That didn't read as if he still isn't being "considered" just that they aren't showing the company name on the list of "potential" vendors...

"Tesla’s name was removed from a State Department document that listed planned vehicle purchases after the existence of the list was reported late Wednesday."

"Later on Wednesday, a different version of the procurement document appeared online. It referred to “armored electric vehicles,” omitting any mention of Tesla."

To me that reads like "there was a list of specific vendors, now there's just a generic statement of product being desired with no vendors listed."
