Elon Musk and Chechen leader clash over immobilized Cybertruck
"Elon Musk did something terrible," emphasized the leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, in his post on Telegram. The vehicle, which the Chechen leader frequently boasted about, was immobilised by Tesla.
Tesla, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, remotely immobilised the Cybertruck of Chechnya's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov.
Elon Musk did something terrible. He gives expensive gifts from the heart, and then remotely disables them. You probably remember his gift – the Cybertruck, which we equipped with a machine gun and sent to the Northern Military District. The vehicle performed well in combat missions. It demonstrated manoeuvrability and good crew protection - wrote Kadyrov on his Telegram channel.
The head of Chechnya stated that Elon Musk behaved "unmanly." Let's recall that in August, Kadyrov announced that Musk had given him a Cybertruck.
In the video posted on the Chechen leader's Telegram channel, he was seen driving the electric car through the streets of Grozny. A machine gun was installed in the boot of the vehicle.
The weaponry used is surprisingly conservative, as large-calibre machine guns are the norm for off-road vehicles used by various terrorist or rebel groups, particularly in Africa.
According to Kadyrov, the car was sent to the front. Later, Elon Musk himself denied the information about the gift.
Are you seriously so [...] that you think I donated a Cybertruck to a Russian general? - he wrote on his social media platform X.
