Musk Denies Sending Armed Cybertruck to Kadyrov

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has denied claims made by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov that he donated a machine gun-equipped Cybertruck to him. Kadyrov posted a video on Telegram showing himself driving the Cybertruck, praising Musk and stating the vehicle would be sent to the conflict zone in Ukraine. Musk responded on his social media platform X, using a derogatory term to refute the claims, and criticized legacy media for spreading misinformation. Despite Kadyrov's elaborate display and invitation for Musk to visit Chechnya, there is no evidence supporting the claim that Musk or Tesla gifted the vehicle. Musk's denial comes amid ongoing scrutiny and accusations of collusion with Russia.
