Chechen warlord invites Musk to Russia after he’s filmed driving machine-gun mounted Cybertruck
SUMMARY
Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has invited Tesla CEO Elon Musk to Russia after being filmed driving a machine-gun mounted Cybertruck in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. In a video posted on Kadyrov’s Telegram channel, the leader is seen behind the wheel of the armored vehicle before standing alongside the mounted weaponry, draped with belts of ammunition. Kadyrov praised the Cybertruck, stating, “It’s not for nothing that they call this a cyberbeast. I’m sure that this beast will bring plenty of benefits to our troops.” Kadyrov, who has been sanctioned by the U.S. for human rights violations, claimed the vehicle was a gift from Musk, though this has not been independently confirmed. He also extended an invitation to Musk, saying, “I don’t think the Russian Foreign Ministry would mind such a trip,” and suggested that Musk’s innovations could aid Russia’s military efforts.
