Elon Musk wanted a Cybertruck ready for war. The U.S. military is going to test it… by shooting at it.
When Elon Musk claimed that his bulletproof Cybertruck was “apocalypse-ready,” it was only a matter of time before someone would take that assertion literally. That someone? The U.S. military, which plans to purchase two units of Tesla’s famous electric pickup to serve as missile targets.
The Cybertruck, once touted by Musk himself as the military vehicle of the future, will finally join the arsenal of the U.S. Air Force. Not to transport soldiers or drones, no. It will be sent to the White Sands Missile Range, a vast testing ground in New Mexico, to be systematically obliterated by precision weapons.
An Acclamation for the Cybertruck?
The information, spotted in official documents by the media The War Zone, indicates that these two Teslas are the only ones specifically requested among 33 target vehicles, which include pickups and SUVs. Why this choice? The military believes that some enemies may one day drive a Cybertruck, and therefore it is useful to test its missiles on this kind of armored future vehicle.

According to the document, the Cybertruck is not expected to sustain the usual damage expected during a major impact. That will surely flatter Elon Musk, at least until a missile actually falls on it.
Musk wanted a Cybertruck on the battlefield. He will get it. But probably in the form of smoking debris. It’s a bit like Hollywood meets a post-apocalyptic video game, except it’s American taxpayers who are footing the bill.
