I'm the coming civil war, they believe the MAGA Army will use Cybertrucks, so it's best to prepare a defence against them.

Create fake research program on fighting against cybertrucks, keep it cheap
Make statement that enemies might want this car
Enemies, confused and intrigued by that statement, start a war cybertruck research program
Enemies start buying american cars for testing
Either they quickly decide to start to use them, or they keep spending money trying to figure out what we were thinking with that public statement

As long as you keep the program cheap by only buying a few and not spending to many man hours, you can come out ahead. Either way, it's an American car, money comes back to our economy.

Step 1: Sell cybertrucks to terrorists.

Yeah weird sentence. It reads as stating fact about the subject of the sentence, the cyber truck - referred to by “it” but then continues to walk that back and say “may transition to”.

fixed:

"it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy, the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks"

And I do think that the enemies of your democracy are already the one buying those monstrosity
