Allegations Unveiled
Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chechen leader, made a startling claim on Friday implicating Tesla’s enigmatic CEO, Elon Musk. Kadyrov alleged that Musk remotely deactivated his prized Cybertruck, equipped with a mounted machine gun, as it was deployed to the Northern Military District amidst the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Twists and Turns
Expressing his dismay in a Telegram post in Russian, Kadyrov accused Musk of a deceitful act. The Cybertruck, he revealed, had served commendably in combat missions in the military district before being rendered immobile by a remote command.
Controversial Revelations
In a subsequent post, Kadyrov disclosed his plans to dispatch two untouched Cybertrucks to the conflict zone, showcasing them in a video traversing a wooded area with armed personnel on board. Despite the setback, Kadyrov lauded the Cybertruck, deeming it an unparalleled advertisement for the robust vehicle.
Significance of the Incident
Earlier, Kadyrov had shared footage of himself driving the Cybertruck with a mounted machine gun, hinting at its imminent deployment in the war zone. Pleased with the Cybertruck’s capabilities, Kadyrov praised its potential contributions to the soldiers in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Denials and Disputes
However, Musk refuted claims of gifting a Cybertruck to Kadyrov, labeling the notion absurd on X. While disavowing any donation, Musk did not clarify how Kadyrov obtained access to the showcased Cybertruck. Notably, the Cybertruck is currently restricted to sales within the United States.
