Elon Musk slams claims of gifting Tesla Cybertruck to Chechen leader
Elon Musk addressed rumours regarding gifting a Tesla Cybertruck to Ramzan Kadyrov, a Russian general and the leader of Chechnya. The billionaire did not mince words and firmly denied: "Are you seriously so retarded?" - the furious billionaire inquired.
In recent days, Ramzan Kadyrov, who rules Chechnya with an iron fist, announced on Telegram that he received a Tesla Cybertruck from Elon Musk. The owner of Tesla, SpaceX, and the X platform responded to this statement decisively.
- In his reply, @elonmusk confirmed he did not send a Tesla Cybertruck to Kadyrov. Kadyrov is a liar. - wrote Anton Gerashchenko on the X platform.
Ukrainian politician Anton Heraszczenko publicized the matter. He shared Kadyrov's post on Telegram, catching the attention of the entire Western community. After the online uproar, the Tesla owner spoke out about the "gift."
Musk did not mince words when he was approached by Seth Abramson. The journalist stated that the topic of the billionaire gifting a Tesla Cybertruck to Kadyrov should be the number one story in the US media.
Are you seriously so retarded that you think I donated a Cybertruck to a Russian general? That’s amazing - wrote Musk on the X platform.
Heraszczenko rejoined the discussion. He posed a question to the Tesla company and once again invoked Elon Musk.
The question remains - how did Kadyrov obtain a Tesla Cybertruck, and how does it keep driving there (can't it be turned off remotely? Doesn't it violate ToS?) - inquired the Ukrainian politician.
At the end of his post on the X platform, Gerashchenko also shared one surprising detail. His observation concerned a common phenomenon in Russia - the lack of respect towards Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
An interesting detail - Russian media spread the news that Kadyrov lied very widely and enthusiastically - concluded surprised Gerashchenko.
