Kim Kardashian trolled for awkward interaction with Tesla’s humanoid robot: 'Don't see this ending well'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kim Kardashian found herself the target of playful trolling after sharing a video of her amusing and slightly awkward interaction with Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus. 

The robot, developed by Tesla, wowed Kardashian with its impressive skills, leaving both the reality star and her fans in awe. The video also gave a glimpse into the interior of Tesla’s autonomous Cybercab, adding another layer of intrigue. 

This comes just days after Kardashian made headlines for being pulled over by LA police while driving Tesla's Cybertruck, which was equipped with tinted windows - an offense in the area. Thankfully, she was given a fix-it ticket and allowed to go on her way.

Kim Kardashian introduces 'new friend' online 

In a 24-minute video shared by Kim Kardashian on X (formerly Twitter) on November 19, 2024, the reality star introduced her followers to Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot. In the video, Kardashian greeted the robot by waving and saying, "Hi", to which Optimus responded by waving its hand in return.

The video Kardashian shared on Twitter and Instagram Stories was captioned, "Meet her new friend," accompanied by a bicep emoji and a robot emoji. The post quickly gained traction, garnering over 38k likes, 4.5 million views, and 3.3k comments

Kardashian then playfully challenged the robot to a game of rock-paper-scissors, asking, "Umm, rock-paper-scissors?" Optimus raised its hands, and after Kardashian made her first move and won, she teased, "Oh, you're a little slow. I beat you!" In response, the robot displayed a human-like gesture of frustration by raising its hand in a shrug.

Next, Kardashian asked, "Can you do this?" as she formed a heart shape with her fingers. To her surprise, Optimus quickly mirrored the gesture, which left Kardashian gasping in amazement, saying, "You know how to do that!"

It remains unclear whether the robot was operating autonomously or controlled by a handler during the interaction. The video concluded with a glimpse of the interior of a Tesla Cybertruck, leaving many wondering if Kardashian was considering purchasing the vehicle.
