Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov claims that Elon Musk shut down his Cybertruck vehicle remotely.
"Elon Musk acted ugly. He gives expensive gifts from the heart, and then remotely turns them off. You probably remember his gift, the Cybertruck, which we equipped with a machine gun and sent to the special military operation. <…> Recently, Musk turned the Cybertruck remotely. This is unmanly. I had to tow the iron horse away. How can this be, Elon? Is that how things are done?"
On August 17, Ramzan Kadyrov published a video on his Telegram channel showing him driving Tesla's Cybertruck vehicle in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya.
In turn, the US-based entrepreneur denied reports saying that he had gifted the vehicle to the Chechen president. Musk also called an X user a "retard" for believing that he could give a Cybertruck to the Chechen president.
