WTF?! The Cybertruck might appear like a badly rendered computer game vehicle, however it's quick and it's difficult. Possibly that's why a Chechen warlord chose to deck the automobile out with a gatling gun and take it into fight. After sharing video footage of himself driving the EV around in August, Ramzan Kadyrov now declares that Musk from another location disabled the Cybertruck after it was released to the cutting edge in Ukraine.
According to a report by CNN, the Putin-backed leader declared the state-of-the-art lorry had actually been “carrying out well” in fight till Musk struck the kill switch, requiring it to be pulled away.
“What Elon Musk did was not good,” Kadyrov whined. “He offers pricey presents from the heart and after that from another location changes them off.” He included that Musk's declared relocation was “not manly.”
Not remarkably, Musk rejected having anything to do with gifting the warlord a Cybertruck in the very first location.
Kadyrov stated he got a Tesla Cybertrack from Elon Musk. He assured to send it to the “unique military operation” zone and connected a gatling gun to it.
