Details: Abramson shared a video showing Kadyrov in a Cybertruck equipped with a machine gun, expressing his confusion about the situation.

"I'm confused. US Military Academy at West Point just had Elon Musk as its convocation speaker, when Musk is providing vehicles ready for military use to sanctioned enemies of America? Why isn't this the biggest story in America today? Why is West Point coddling a man working openly against the US?" Abramson tweeted, tagging Musk in the post.

Details: The Tesla founder responded in the comments in a rather dismissive manner, denying that he had given the Cybertruck to Kadyrov. 

"Are you seriously so retarded that you think I donated a Cybertruck to a Russian general? That’s amazing," Musk wrote.
