Ramzan Kadyrov Blames Elon Musk for ‘Deactivating’ His Tesla Cybertruck

Ramzan Kadyrov, the controversial leader of Russia’s Chechen Republic, found himself in the spotlight once again after accusing Elon Musk of deactivating his Tesla Cybertruck. Kadyrov, known for his authoritarian regime and human rights violations, took to his Telegram channel to express his disappointment in Musk’s actions.

The 47-year-old dictator had previously boasted about receiving the Cybertruck as a gift from Musk, only to later claim that the vehicle had been remotely disabled by the Tesla CEO. Kadyrov, who was seen driving the Cybertruck with a machine gun, praised the vehicle’s performance in combat in Ukraine, where he claimed it demonstrated excellent maneuverability and crew protection.

Despite Kadyrov’s glowing review of the Cybertruck, the vehicle has faced its fair share of controversies since its launch. From recalls due to design faults to embarrassing moments like the infamous window shattering incident during a demonstration by Musk, the Cybertruck has had a rocky start.

While Epic Games has featured the Cybertruck as a combat vehicle in popular games like Fortnite, the real-world performance of the vehicle has been called into question. Musk’s bold claims about the Cybertruck’s durability have been put to the test, with some users proving that the vehicle is not as indestructible as advertised.

As the feud between Kadyrov and Musk continues, it remains to be seen whether the Cybertruck will live up to its reputation as a cutting-edge combat machine or if it will continue to face challenges in the real world.
