The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, called on American businessman Elon Musk not to react to outrage over the fact that he "gave" Kadyrov a Tesla.
"Elon, do not pay attention to backward and uninitiated people and corrupt media. Don't get distracted by them, trust me. It's better to keep creating and reach new heights. Your developments help us a lot. You're doing great anyway!" — Kadyrov wrote on social networks.
The head of Chechnya also thanked Mask for Starlink.
"The speed of communication in the SMO zone is generally fire! Separate respect from the fighters! " — said Kadyrov.
EADaily reported that on August 17, Kadyrov, in his own words, "received a Tesla cyber truck from the respected Elon Musk." He assured that he would send the car to the SMO zone, where it would be very useful to Russian fighters. American journalist Seth Abramson later expressed indignation on social networks that Musk "presented" Kadyrov with a cyber truck. Musk responded to the message.
"You are so stupid that you believed that I gave a cyber truck to a Russian general… This is another example of how traditional media lie," Musk commented on Abramson's post.
