Tesla mastermind Elon Musk recently revealed the company's newest vehicle, the Cybertruck.
With its hyper-futurist geometric shape and questionable window durability, the "bulletproof" electric truck has incited mixed reactions on social media — people either love it or hate it. The boxy truck's high-profile launch has already been trolled by brands like Lego and Pepsi.
Like everything Elon Musk does, the Cybertruck's reveal has also sparked widespread attention on the Russian-speaking corner of the internet. And you know the old saying: Wherever Russia's attention goes, memes shall follow.
Here's a look at our favorite Cybertruck memes from across the Runet:
Every Victory Day, Russians celebrate the end of World War II with car decals that read "Thank you grandfather for the victory." Will the Cybertruck someday take part in this tradition?
That feeling when you're a 19th-century Russian peasant who just needs a reliable plow.
The Cybertruck's spacious bed is big enough to bring all the essentials around town.
The Cybertruck blends into its natural habitat in a Russian courtyard.

"Elon Musk, your car is plagiarism."
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
