Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov invited Tesla CEO Elon Musk to visit Russia after a video surfaced showing him driving a Tesla Cybertruck equipped with a machine gun. In a clip posted on Kadyrov's Telegram channel, the strongman was seen driving the stainless steel Cybertruck on a recreational trip before standing on the mounted machine gun in the truck bed.
Kadyrov stated that Musk sent him a Cybertruck to the capital of Chechnya, Grozny, which he plans to later send to the special military operation zone.
In an enthusiastic post, Kadyrov described the vehicle as "undoubtedly one of the best cars in the world. I literally fell in love with it." He also mentioned that he would donate the vehicle to Russian forces fighting in the invasion of Ukraine.
He added, "It is not by chance that they call it the cyber beast. I am sure this beast will bring many benefits to our troops." Kadyrov, who has been sanctioned by the United States for his ties to numerous human rights violations, stated that he received the truck from Musk. He also used the video to invite Musk to visit Chechnya.
