Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Russia's Chechnya region, has accused Elon Musk of remotely disabling a Tesla Cybertruck that he claimed was gifted to him by Musk last month. Kadyrov said on Telegram that the vehicle, which he had equipped with a machine gun and sent to the front lines in Ukraine, was rendered useless. Musk has denied gifting the vehicle to Kadyrov. Despite the alleged remote shutdown, Kadyrov stated that he has sent two more Cybertrucks, armed with machine guns, to the conflict zone, asserting that Western equipment performs well in combat missions.
