Why It Matters: Ramzan Kadyrov, head of the Chechen Republic (Chechnya) and a Putin ally, had advised the “much weaker” Musk in a Telegram post to train at one of the several centers in the Chechen Republic ahead of his proposed fight against Putin.

Musk responded to Kadyrov by saying that “such excellent training” would give him too much of an advantage.

The billionaire entrepreneur also changed his Twitter name to “Elona Musk” after Kadyrov used the name to mock him.

Price Action: Tesla shares closed 4.6% higher in Tuesday’s regular trading session at $801.89.
