Tesla CEO Elon Musk denied claims that he gifted Chechnya’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov a Cybertruck. In a post on his platform X, Musk expressed disbelief over the rumors, highlighting them as a prime example of media misinformation. Kadyrov had showcased a Tesla pickup in a video, complete with a mounted machine gun, praising it as one of the world’s best vehicles and expressing his affection for it. Notably, Kadyrov, an ally of Vladimir Putin, vowed to use the truck in support of Russia’s military efforts in Ukraine, asserting its utility in the ongoing conflict. The U.S. has sanctioned Kadyrov for human rights abuses, which include brutal tactics against political opponents. In his video, Kadyrov invited Musk to Grozny, suggesting a warm welcome and hinting at future cooperation related to military operations.
