The leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, posted a video of himself driving a Tesla Cybertruck with a machine gun mounted on it.
He claimed the armored truck would be used in the war in Ukraine and invited Tesla CEO Elon Musk to visit Chechnya.
Musk denied donating the truck, responding to criticism with a sarcastic tweet.
The incident raises questions about the role of technology and powerful individuals in conflict.
