Musk refutes information about Tesla Cybertruck gifted to Kadyrov

Elon Musk, an American entrepreneur, has stated that he had not presented a Tesla Cybertruck to the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Ramzan Kadyrov boasted that he had received a Tesla Cybertruck from Elon Musk, the founder of the Tesla Company. He invited Musk to Grozny and noted that he intended to give the electric vehicle to soldiers fighting in the special military operation (SMO) zone in Ukraine.

"Are you seriously so retarded that you think I donated a Cybertruck to a Russian general? That's amazing," Musk wrote in his X social network.

This was his answer to a remark made by the user Set Abramson that "Musk supplies vehicles ready for military use to America's enemies under sanctions."

On January 20, 2023, it became known that Chechen authorities intended to start making "Jihad-vehicles" at the "Chechenavto" factory. "Jihad-vehicle" is the usual name for suicide bombers' vehicles. They were used, in particular, during the second Chechen campaign.
