Kardhashian seemed thoroughly impressed with her robotic companion in a new video where she explored several of the android’s features.
At the beginning of the clip, Kim greeted the robot with a friendly wave, receiving a quick “hello” in response.
The mother of four then tested its abilities, asking if it could create a heart shape with her. She was visibly surprised when the robot extended its hand to complete the gesture alongside her.
Kim asked the bot a series of basic questions, prompting the machine to showcase its range of movements. The robot demonstrated a variety of actions, including a running motion, performing the hula, and even “raising the roof.”
She captioned the post, “Meet my new friend 🦾🤖 @Tesla.”
The former Keeping Up With the Kardashians star shared even more of her interactions with the Tesla robot on her Instagram Stories, showing off some of its playful antics.
Many followers were saying the same thing in the comments. One person wrote: ‘And so it begins….we are doomed’ while another said ‘there’s a whole movie on why this is a bad idea’. A third follower wrote ‘This would terrify me omg’ while another said ‘Elon is going to know all her secrets’.
Kim isn’t the first celebrity to interact with one of Tesla’s androids. At the company’s “We, Robot” event in October, rapper 2 Chainz had a one-on-one experience with one of the machines. However, it was later revealed that a Tesla employee had been remotely operating the robot. Elon Musk has previously stated that the Optimus robots will have a price range of $20,000 to $30,000.
Kim, a long-time Tesla enthusiast, already owns the much-anticipated Cybertruck, though the vehicle landed her in hot water recently
It’s unclear whether Kim purchased the bot for tens of thousands of dollars or if Elon Musk provided her with one to test out. Either way, it’s obvious she’s enjoying her high-tech new friend!
