- Kim Kardashian grabbed attention with an unusual photoshoot.
- She posed with the gold robot in a series of provocative shots.
- The buzz extended when Kardashian introduced her “new friend”.
Despite speculation that Elon Musk paid Kardashian for the collaboration, her representative clarified to The New York Times that she “did not get paid” for the shoot.
In one photo, Kardashian, dressed in nude Balenciaga leggings and a black bomber jacket, sat on Optimus’s lap. Another image showed her holding hands with the robot while sitting in an unreleased gold Tesla Cybertruck. Sharing the photos on Instagram, she captioned them with an alien emoji.
The buzz extended to social media when Kardashian introduced her 75.1 million X followers to her “new friend”. In a video, she playfully asked the robot, “Hi! Can you do this? I love you?” while prompting it to form a heart with her hand. Amazed when Optimus succeeded, she teased further, writing, “Optimus is here to take mw [sic] for a ride in the Cybercab.”
Netizens had mixed reactions. One user joked about Optimus being her “low-maintenance boyfriend,” while another remarked, “Sorry Kim, you’re not gonna normalise this weird behaviour for us.”
