Kadyrov Thanks Musk for Tesla Cybertruck

Ramzan Kadyrov, the Chechen leader and ally of Vladimir Putin, publicly expressed gratitude to Elon Musk for providing Starlink services to his fighters, following claims that Musk gifted him a Tesla Cybertruck. Journalist Seth Abrahamson highlighted concerns over Musk allegedly supplying military-ready vehicles to sanctioned individuals, prompting Musk to dismiss the claims with a derogatory remark. Kadyrov shared this exchange on Telegram, urging Musk to ignore critics and praising the technological advancements that aid his forces. In a video posted on social media, Kadyrov showcased the Cybertruck, which he described as a "beast" that would soon be deployed to the frontlines in Ukraine. He emphasized the vehicle's potential utility in combat, stating it would be "in demand under the appropriate conditions." Kadyrov's admiration for Musk was evident as he referred to him as a "great man" and a "genius," further asserting that the Cybertruck would significantly benefit Chechen soldiers. The Chechen leader claimed that 43,500 of his combatants have participated in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, underscoring his commitment to the Russian military efforts. While Musk's products, including Starlink, have been utilized in the war, he has previously expressed reluctance about their use in military operations. Despite this, Kadyrov's enthusiastic endorsement of the Cybertruck highlights the complex interplay between technology and warfare in the current geopolitical landscape.
