Elon now literally supplying arms and materiel to Russia

Anton Gerashchenko
Kadyrov said he received a Tesla Cybertruck from Elon Musk. He promised to send it to the "special military operation" zone and attached a machine gun to it.

"Elon, thank you! Come to Grozny, I will receive you as the most dear guest! I do not think that our Russian MFA will be against such a trip. And, of course, we are waiting for your new developments that will contribute to the completion of the SMO," Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.

1. Tesla's foreign policy working against the interests of the United States

Btw, who is Tesla Ambassador to Russia?

[Crowman2009]

2. Let's hope some high-ranking officials turn on the self-driving mode.

[arlyellowdog]

3. Just an ad for that stupid vehicle

[lame54]

4. Should make a nice gift for Zelensky

[unblock]

5. Makes sense, the cybertruck certainly looks like a Soviet production

[SheltieLover]

7. No kidding!

Most hideous vehicle I've ever seen.

[haele]

20. But is it as reliable as a Lada?

Built like a tank, true...with a 4-stroke engine ....
Remember the Yugo? You bought them as a six-pack for spare parts ...

21. I recall Yugos. Chicagoans avoided them,like the ruskie trash they were.

Ruskie engineering... Oxymoron.

Not too familiar with Ladas, but I feel sorry for ruskie citizens having to put up with scrap like that masquerading as viable vehicles. I've seen,You Tubes about these pieces of junk. Not something I'd want.

[PufPuf23]

25. Yugos were produced by Zastava, a Yugoslavian/Serbian (not Russian) company with an interesting history.

[SheltieLover]

27. Thx

But no thanks. They were junk.

[PufPuf23]

31. No argument about the Yugo being junk.

Did not realize that the Yugo was made by Zastava.

Have a fond memory from 2 weeks spent in Yugoslavia in early 1981. The 2nd week was driving from Belgrade to Ljubljana, Slovenia through the mountains and up the Adriatic coast from Dubrovnik to Opatija. Beautiful. We drove a Zastava 101 (not mentioned at wiki) that I wrongly recalled as a Czech auto. The Zastava 101 was loud and sort of sporty in a go-cart sort of way. The only American tourist we met was a Japanese fellow from Berkeley with a red backpack with a prominent maple leaf. Hard to imagine the war that was in the future. Tito was less than a year gone.

[SheltieLover]

43. Interesting!

Thanks for sharing your experience.

[Dave Bowman]

33. I rode in a Lada once or twice when I was a kid.

And it sure was a garbage car.

[SheltieLover]

45. Not exactly the height of luxury & performance?

[Dave says]

42. Yeah, I saw my first one a couple of days ago

Truly ugly as s**t.

[k55f5r]

6. I cannot wait

to see what a $99 drone w/a grenade does to this .

[HAB911]

8. That might work out best for Ukraine

[newdeal2]

9. Very cool! Interesting

They have car chargers on the front line?

[tanyev]

10. Some Ukrainian farmer's gonna get himself a Cybertruck.

[KPN]

11. Elon will have plausible deniability. Wouldn't get too

worked up over this. Could even be a Kremlin effort to boost existing divisions further here in US?

[SCantiGOP]

18. It is a fake story

30 second google search will confirm it.

[KPN]

39. ......

[spooky3]

44. How do you know? See link below.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=19345622

[SheltieLover]

23. No doubt. That & to mock the USA.

I wish this immigrant could be deported! Fucking traiterous international disgrace.

[KPN]

40. I agree. Talk about immigration issues.

[SheltieLover]

41. Not to mention dump's wife ("Natasha")

"Genius?" Genius maybe only in handling dump for pootin.

Same for Muskrat.

[0rganism]

12. Nice to see Elon sabotaging Russia

Perhaps he can get Putin to test the self-driving mode. Might be good for a special medal just for Elon, made from steel with lots of sharp pointy edges.

[struggle4progress]

13. Cybertruck bulletproof window

[sarisataka]

14. Sending a cybertruck could be considered

Sabotaging the war effort

[Swede]

15. I disagree. That piece of shit truck will break down on day one and the Russian crew get killed.

Everyone wins.

[GreenWave]

16. Do go there Elon! Then they can hold you for ransom.

[SCantiGOP]

17. This is fake. A simple google search will show it

Post should be taken down. Misinformation makes the site look silly.
It is a picture of a Checken warlord who invited Musk to visit him, and said he would donate the truck to the Russian forces.
It was not given by Musk.

[spooky3]

28. The article you linked said the recipient claimed to have

Been given it by Musk, although that was not independently confirmed.

[2naSalit]

19. Is there some action our DOJ could take...

With regard to his traitorous activities?

[SheltieLover]

24. This is 1 immigrant who should be deported

JMO. POS.

His vehicles are inherently crapy so have fun pootin.

I'm sure pootin asked for this just to try to shame the USA. Seems to be tfg's top agenda, right up there with the denegration of women.

Gee, pukes sound like the Taliban...another terrorist organization.

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

22. Because there are lots of chargers there?

Uh-huh. And I'll be that thing is stealth to drones, too, especially with a .50 cal. mounted on it.

[PufPuf23]

26. Elon Musk is a national security risk. nt

[Clouds Passing]

29. Doesn't that make Eloonatic a traitor?

[Arne]

30. Is it Rusty, or Rusky?

[MLAA]

32. A Russian woman gets 12 years for donating $50 to Ukraine charity. Thant means if the US handled Elon's

gift similarly that would mean way over 12,000 years!

https://globalnews.ca/video/10702660/woman-sentenced-to-12-years-in-russian-prison-over-50-donation-to-ukrainian-charity#

[surfered]

34. Does that violate the sanctions?

[LauraInLA]

35. Does Elon Musk secretly hate Putin?

[doc03]

36. His truck is probably more danger to the Russians than Ukraine. nt

[GoCubsGo]

37. If this is true, it's time to revoke all of his government contracts.

They should have done that when he was fucking with Ukraine's access to Starlink, one of his businesses subsidized by the US Government. But, better late than never. C'mon, Joe! Do it!

[ecstatic]

38. Again I ask, how is our doj cracking down on Google and Adobe

while one mentally unhinged man is allowed to control so much global infrastructure, including potentially involving himself in wars?

Aiding enemies of the United States.

Harming allies who rely on satellite Internet.

It's like something out of a Marvel movie or something.

When the fuck is eLoon going to be regulated?
