Video of a Tesla Cybertruck covered in bullet marks spread on X after a negative Q3 earnings call.
Elon Musk claimed testers shot at the vehicle "Al Capone style" to ensure it was bulletproof.
Critics quickly doubted the claim, saying they'll believe it when they see video of such a test.
"We emptied the entire drum magazine of a Tommy gun into the driver door Al Capone style," Musk wrote in response to YouTuber Farzad Mesbahi re-posting the clip.
