Tesla, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, remotely immobilized 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 maneuverability 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 gave 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 trunk of the car.
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 really so impaired that you think I gave a Cybertruck to a Russian general? - he wrote on his social media platform X.

The Tesla Cybertruck is a cyberpunk-style all-wheel-drive electric pickup introduced to the global market in 2023. On a single charge, it can travel over 500 miles.
This model is not officially sold in Russia, and the price of such cars imported from abroad exceeds 20 million rubles ($200,000).
