Can spare sure, but this looks more like how a middle manager can quietly hand 50k to a friend.

Given that the car was a freebie for referring 11 Model S sales I doubt it was a friend.. See http://www.theverge.com/2016/4/20/11466810/tesla-model-x-for...

My guess is that this was the first one Ford was able to buy at any price....

Yea, I think this is a case of looks sketchy but is fine. Still, journalism often focuses on the interesting even if it's not that big a deal.
