Chechen warlord, Putin ally accuses Elon Musk of disabling his machine-gun-mounted Tesla Cybertruck on front lines
A Chechen warlord who claimed Elon Musk gifted him a Cybertruck accused the Telsa CEO on Thursday of “remotely” disabling the machine-gun-mounted vehicle, which needed to be towed off the Russian battlefield.
Ramzan Kadyrov, 47, the ruthless president of Russia’s Chechnya region, claimed that his Cybertruck stopped working after he revealed it was sent into the Northern Military District for Russian troops to use in the war on Ukraine.
“Elon Musk behaved badly,” Kadyrov wrote on Telegram, according to Politico. “He gives expensive gifts from the bottom of his heart and then remotely disconnects them.”

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,

Hmmmm… If I buy something and own it, shouldn’t I have full and exclusive control over it? Otherwise, if the previous owner else is able to exercise controlling power over the item I purchased, my ownership is no longer exclusive and the bill of sale is worthless. What did I actually buy? A lease? An adhesion contract?
It’s as though I bought a house, but the previous owner or contractor is given the power to cut off my utilities or prevent me from accessing certain rooms or paint over all my windows and there’s nothing I can do to stop them.
How many of “our” modern possessions are really ours?
That a manufacturer can remotely disable a vehicle is the true take away from this story. Don’t own a tesla, don’t care. Fair enough. Purchasing one is a choice. Just wait until you have no choice when it comes to CBDC or any other programable currency
It’s reassuring to know that when we are all driving the electric cars our government has mandated that same government will be able to “brick” our car anytime they feel like it. Things just keep getting better and better.
I doubt that claim. That’s is, I believe Elon. However, if this bricking thing is possible, which I DON’T, you can guarantee I’ll never own one… not without some proof nobody can brick it from the other side of the world much less next door.
I understand they brick themselves because they’re junk.
A “kill switch” for everything.
Vehicles.
Money.
Everything.
Fall for digital currency and ev’s at your own risk.
Me? Hard pass.
I don’t care if it’s Elon or Mother Teresa, the capability of anyone to remotely and arbitrarily disable your possession is an affront to liberty and freedom.
But don’t worry because government would never stoop to such an action.
