AutoExec Summary
The Tesla Cybertruck, known for its controversy, has been acquired by Russian warlord Ramzan Kadyrov and fitted with a machine gun. Kadyrov claimed the Cybertruck was a gift from Elon Musk, but Musk denied this. The Cybertruck, believed to be a top-spec model, will be used in Ukraine for military purposes. This marks the first time a Tesla has been used in a warzone, with traditional heavy-duty vehicles like Toyota’s HiLux and LandCruiser being more common. While the Cybertruck may not have the same impact in conflict, Kadyrov believes it will be beneficial to his fighters.
