Chechnya President Ramzan Kadyrov extended an invitation to Tesla CEO Elon Musk to visit Russia after being filmed driving one of the company's Cybertrucks equipped with a machine gun. The video, shared on Kadyrov's Telegram channel, showcased the self-proclaimed strongman cruising through Grozny, the Chechen capital, in the stainless steel-clad Cybertruck before proudly standing beside the mounted weapon, adorned with belts of ammunition.

Expressing his admiration for the vehicle, Kadyrov described it as "undoubtedly one of the best cars in the world" and declared his love for it. Fascinated by its capabilities, he even expressed his intent to donate the Cybertruck to Russian forces involved in the Ukrainian conflict, referring to it as a formidable "cyberbeast" that would benefit the troops. However, the claim that Kadyrov received the truck directly from Musk has not been independently verified, and Tesla has not yet responded to requests for comment.

In addition to extending the invitation, Kadyrov took the opportunity to entice Musk to visit Chechnya, suggesting that the Russian Foreign Ministry would gladly accommodate such a trip. He also expressed anticipation for Musk's upcoming developments that could potentially aid in concluding the ongoing special military operation in Ukraine.

Kadyrov's invitation to Musk comes amidst his controversial reputation, having faced sanctions from the United States due to allegations of human rights violations. Despite this, his enthusiasm for the Cybertruck and his desire to showcase its capabilities to the world remain undeterred.

Whether Musk accepts the invitation and makes his way to Russia or not, the image of Kadyrov behind the wheel of the powerful Cybertruck has sparked immense interest and speculation about the vehicle's future potential in military applications.
