Chechnya warlord shows off Cybertruck with mounted machine gun, invites Musk to Russia
- Self-styled strongman Kadyrov says he ‘literally fell in love’ with the Tesla vehicle and will donate it to Russian forces invading Ukraine
Chechnya President Ramzan Kadyrov invited Tesla CEO Elon Musk to Russia on Saturday after being filmed behind the wheel of one of the company’s Cybertrucks mounted with a machine gun.
In a clip posted on Kadyrov’s Telegram channel, the self-styled strongman was seen taking the stainless steel-clad Cybertruck for a leisurely drive before standing astride the machine gun mounted in the truck bed, draped with belts of ammunition.
In a gushing post, Kadyrov, who rules over Chechnya, a republic within the Russian Federation, described the vehicle as “undoubtedly one of the best cars in the world. I literally fell in love”.
He also said he would donate the vehicle to Russian forces fighting in the invasion of Ukraine.
“It’s not for nothing that they call this a cyberbeast,” he said.
