Chechen Warlord Claims Elon Musk Remotely Disabled His Armed Cybertruck
Ramzan Kadyrov claims he was gifted the Cybertruck by Tesla’s CEO, who then remotely deactivated it, forcing it to be towed from a battlefield
A Chechen warlord who previously claimed Elon Musk had gifted him a Cybertruck is now accusing the Tesla CEO of remotely disabling it while it was involved in the Russian battle against Ukraine.
“Elon Musk behaved badly,” Ramzan Kadyrov, president of Chechnya, a Russian republic, wrote on Telegram. “He gives expensive gifts from the heart and then remotely disconnects them.”
Kadyrov outfitted his Cybertruck with a machine gun mounted on the rear bed and says it was sent to the front lines in Ukraine to aid in what Karyrov’s dictator-hero Vladimir Putin still euphemistically refers to as a “special military operation.”
The 47-year-old Chechen warlord later enthused to his social media followers about the the truck’s “maneuverability” and the level of protection its stainless steel skin and bulletproof glass afforded his soldiers. But this week he complained that the truck had been disabled by Tesla HQ and had to be towed from the front lines.
