Elon Musk continues to deny that he gave a Chechen warlord a Cybertruck equipped with a machine gun, despite the fact that the warlord himself made the claim.
As CNN reported, Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the Republic of Chechnya annexed by Russia who acts as a soldier for Vladimir Putin in the region, claimed in a Telegram message over the weekend that Elon Musk had given him the makeshift cyber tank.
‘We have received a Tesla cybertruck from the respected Elon Musk,’ wrote Kadyrov, according to CNN’s translation. ‘I was delighted to test the new equipment and personally saw why it is called the Cyberbeast.’
In response to criticism on X, Musk insisted that the claim was false, and used an slang for disabled people to make his point clear.
‘Are you seriously so r*tarded that you think I donated a Cybertruck to a Russian general?’ the billionaire wrote. ‘It’s unbelievable.’
A controversy that keeps haunting Elon Musk
After that initial denial, Kadyrov’s statement continued to spread like wildfire on social media. In response, Musk reaffirmed his denial, this time taking advantage of another user’s post.
‘I highly doubt that Elon Musk is giving away Cybertrucks to Russian officials,’ wrote the user alongside a screenshot of an article repeating Kadyrov’s claim. ‘Maybe the guy got it from someone who sold it to him. But I can’t imagine Elon Musk giving away cybertrucks to Russia.’
And the most logical answer is that the Chechen leader was probably just joking, or at least that’s what the X owner believes. ‘This is completely false,’ Musk wrote. ‘He’s trolling.’ It’s curious to see how trolls fail to turn his own social network against him… once again.
