There's also this Ukrainian report on the matter but it's in Ukrainian, so I'm sharing the Mastodon post in English.

Well. That's, uh. Certainly one way to do a marketing stunt. Giving a free car to a second rate genocidal dictator asskisser.

Assuming that Musk actually had a hand in it and it isn't just Kadyrov playing up a truck he bought second hand to make himself seem more important. Not that Elon isn't shitty, but I'm not sure if Kadyrov is notable enough for the guy to personally send him presents.

They previously had a public exchange in the vein of Musk and Zuckerberg challenging each other to a fight, so it could be either.
