Elon Musk has denied claims he gifted a Tesla cybertruck to the Russian general and Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov.
The billionaire responded to Ukrainian official Anton Gerashchenko, who posted apparent footage on X of the warlord receiving the vehicle.
According to Mr Gerashchenko, the warlord said he would send the vehicle, on which he appears to have attached a machine gun, to the frontline.
According to a translation by the official, Mr Kadyrov thanked Musk for the vehicle, before inviting him to Grozny, the capital city of Chechnya, where he would be received “as the most dear guest”.
Musk, who is the chief executive of Tesla Motors and also owns X, denied the claim in a comment on the social media platform.
He wrote on X: “Are you seriously so retarded that you think I donated a cybertruck to a Russian general?”
