Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Russia’s Chechnya region, has recently released a video in which he is seen driving a Tesla Cyber Truck with a mounted machine gun.
The Chechan warlord is seen driving the vehicle with a machine gun wearing a bandolier of bullets around his chest.
In the video, Kadyrov also expressed his intention to send the vehicle to Ukraine to support Russian forces.
Kadyrov Praised Musk
Kadyrov, known for his controversial public stunts, praised Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk as the “strongest genius of modern times”.
The Russian-backed warlord said he invites Elon Musk to visit Chechnya as his “dearest guest.”
Kadyrov Says Musk Sent The Truck
In his post on the Telegram messaging app, Kadyrov claimed to have received the Cybertruck from Musk, though he did not provide details on how he obtained the vehicle.
The video and Kadyrov’s claims could not be independently verified, and it remains unclear whether Musk actually sent the vehicle or if Kadyrov acquired it through other means.
