Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov has posted a video on social media showing off his new cybertruck. He claims that it was a gift directly from Elon Musk and vows to send the "cyberbeast" into battle against Ukraine. https://t.me/RKadyrov_95/4999
There’s also this Ukrainian report on the matter but it’s in Ukrainian, so I’m sharing the Mastodon post in English.
Dude there’s no way he mailed Kadyrov a cybertruck, the fact that he did not explicitly deny it doesn’t mean much at all. It’s not like he’s been dodging questions about it, it’s just one of many things he hasn’t commented on. The article from The Independent says Kadyrov thanked Musk for inventing the vehicle.
That reporting is inaccurate if so. If you follow the Ukrainian news story link in the OP, you can click on the link to Kadyrov’s Telegram post and machine translate it or ask a Russian speaker translate its first sentence. It literally says “received from Musk”.
He’s said nothing about it on his twitter, instead doing the usual boosting of misinformation about US politics. The silence says a lot.

I think that’s just a figure of speech, like if I order something from Amazon I could say “Bezos just sent me this”
