Jalopnik: Elon Musk Accused of Remotely Disabling Cybertruck Gifted to Chechen Warlord
In a bizarre turn of events, Jalopnik reports that Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov asserts that the Tesla Cybertruck, which he claims was gifted to him by Elon Musk, was remotely disabled. Musk, however, has denied ever sending the vehicle. Kadyrov expressed his dissatisfaction on Telegram, labeling Musk's actions as 'unmanly.'
Cybertruck Meets the Battlefield
Kadyrov's Cybertruck, allegedly outfitted with a .50 caliber machine gun, found itself on the front lines in Ukraine. Once regarded for its protective stainless steel skin and drivability, it now faces scrutiny after being rendered unusable on the battlefield. Kadyrov lamented its transformation into a ‘stainless steel brick’, emphasizing the irony of such a tech asset failing in combat.
The Aftermath and Speculations
Despite Musk's denials, Kadyrov's frustration has sparked debates over the implications of tech in warfare. Is this the new reality? As social media buzzing with reactions, Kadyrov’s claims raise questions about tech’s role and responsibilities in conflict. Speculations abound whether Musk’s intervention was intentional or merely coincidental, leaving many pondering the deeper narrative.
