Ramzan Kadyrov, the notorious head of Russia’s Chechnya region, accused Elon Musk of remotely disabling a Tesla Inc. Cybertruck that he said had been used in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Kadyrov, a fierce supporter of President Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine, said Thursday in a post on Telegram that the vehicle had been fitted with a machine gun and used in the fighting there.
