Elon Musk asked by Twitter users to deactivate all Teslas in Russia, following the country's invasion of Ukraine

A small but passionate group of Twitter users is urging Elon Musk to deactivate all Teslas in Russia.

The call comes in the wake of the country's relentless attack on Ukraine, which began on February 24.

In a series of tweets to the tech mogul, several users asked Musk to "shut down every single Tesla in Russia."

One said: "Please shut down and deactivate all Teslas in Russia. What Russia is doing is absolutely disgusting and Putin must stop."

Another called for deactivation as a "technical sanctions" on Russia.

However, Musk has yet to respond to requests. Tesla did not immediately respond to an insider's request for comment, which was done outside of normal working hours.

Since Russia launched a "special military operation" on Ukraine, Musk has been helping Ukrainians by providing them with Internet access. Refugees can access free charging for both Tesla and non-Tesla vehicles in neighboring countries.

Last week, the SpaceX founder said he was providing Starlink satellite service to Ukraine after military action disrupted internet service across the country.

Musk responded to a Ukrainian government official's request for Starlink, saying it is "now active in Ukraine" with "more terminals en route".

"We hope this helps give you the peace of mind to get to a safe place," Tesla wrote in the email, Electrek reported.
