A common marketing stunt for trucks is to film them towing something really heavy: https://jalopnik.com/watch-an-electric-ford-f-150-prototype-.... Tesla apparently doesn't feel like doing the actual stunt, so they've done the equivalent in writing.

The Model Xes have been used to pull "The Boring Co" waste (on rails), so it seems like Tesla have done this stunt. (One would hope that the CyberTruck can do even more?)

That is actually pretty nuts
Not as nuts as a human pulling a C-17, even if the plane is the lighter of the two: https://youtube.com/watch?v=0xpuub2DBB8
They did similar stunt pulling a very big rocket engine - https://news.yahoo.com/news/awesome-video-shows-cybertruck-t...
