Elon Musk and the Controversial Cybertruck Claim by Kadyrov
Elon Musk Faces Accusations Over Cybertruck Claims
Ramzan Kadyrov, the powerful leader of Russia's Chechen Republic, accused Elon Musk on Thursday of remotely disabling a Tesla Cybertruck that he claimed to have received from the billionaire last month.
Kadyrov, who has ruled Chechnya with an iron fist for over 17 years, shared a video in August of him driving around in the electric vehicle with what appeared to be a machine gun mounted on its roof.
Kadyrov claimed the vehicle was used in combat and sent to Ukraine, where it performed admirably. In a post on his Telegram account, he stated, “Now, recently, Musk remotely disabled the Cybertruck.”
Kadyrov's Loyalty to the Kremlin
The son of a former rebel warlord, Kadyrov has positioned himself as one of Putin's most vociferous backers, deploying thousands of troops to assist the Kremlin's offensive in Ukraine.
Impact of Military Involvement in Tech
The implications of tech companies like Tesla being intertwined with military actions raise significant questions about the responsibilities of US carmakers in global conflicts.
