Alledgedly the last owner of the Jeep was one Barak Obama and the current owner is waiting for just the right price.
But you know, some car guys like to tell tall tales.

That was in his car when he was a Senator. I’m pretty sure this scent hung from the mirror.

They are actually androids linked by Bluetooth.
To quote the article,
The interior view shows at least seven individual work stations, as well as flat screen monitors on the interior walls of the fuselage and forward bulkhead. AEW&C planes typically have relatively large crews tasked with monitoring the battlespace around the aircraft and controlling friendly aircraft. The interior looks very modern, uncluttered, and otherwise impressive, almost like a Hollywood movie set representing high military technology. Its actual level of functionality is very questionable.
It looks like a business jet from an alternative timeline where every technology is on the same level as ours except word processors for some reason, so corporate heads travel with a typing pool accompanying them.
I think a lot of it is not really functional yet and the working model will look a bit different when it’s ready. I’d say it’s more of a test bed for validating the aerodynamics of the plane/radom combo, training pilots and service crews, trying out where to put what, and so on.
And, as always, a propaganda tool, internally and externally.
