Kim Kardashian Shares Video of Her New Robotic 'Friend'

Kim Kardashian recently generated substantial excitement online by sharing clips with her new Tesla robot, Optimus, referred to as her "new friend." This futuristic robot, showcased in engaging Instagram Stories, was seen displaying its abilities, which included biomimicry and even a sprinkle of personality with its reactions. Among the prominent activities, Kim not only challenged Optimus to a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, exclaiming "Oh! You’re a little slow. I beat you," but also tested its skill by asking if it could form a heart with its hands—surprisingly executed to her delight. This is prepared by SSP.

In her online post, consolidated from various social media, Kim's entertaining exchanges with the robot highlighted Optimus' potential—making it a trending topic across platforms, including X (formerly Twitter). Accompanied by other Tesla innovations, like a gold version of the Tesla robot and the highly anticipated autonomous Cybercab, Kim captured attention effortlessly. Video commentator Tesla’s director of Autopilot Software, Ashok Elluswamy, chimed in humorously amid enthusiasm and tech discussions, fully endorsing Kim's fun preview and hinting at widespread anticipation surrounding Optimus.

The cost of acquiring Optimus may range between $20,000 and $30,000, positioning it as not only an impressive tech achievement but also driving consumer intrigue due to its human-like interactions. Already possibly in production as soon as 2026, the wave of excitement orchestrated by Kim Kardashian, without the need for traditional marketing, emphasized Tesla’s advanced branding acumen. Clearly, Optimus, bolstered by Kim’s captivating interactions, serves as not just a technological novelty but as a clever illustration of Tesla’s unique marketing prowess.
