Stop me if you've heard this one before: People are pretty mad at Kim Kardashian right now.

So, over the past year or two Kim has been slowly coming out as a Tesla fangirl. Here she is getting out of a Cybertruck in May of last year. Back in November of 2024, she posted a picture of her with a Tesla robot.

Obviously, it's not the best time to align oneself with a company owned by Elon Musk. But "reading the room" has never quite been a Kardashian trait, which leads us to these pictures (which, for rights purposes, we cannot share on this site) of Kim posing with a Tesla robot, in a Tesla cybertruck, for Perfect magazine.

“I think the big joke of me even doing the shoot with the robot is that I feel like I’m so robotic," she said as part of the shoot's feature. Regardless, the reaction was not good:

Well, not everybody was upset:
