Kim Kardashian Posted Her Tesla Robot "Friend," And Yikes
Come what may, Kim Kardashian still appears to be a fan of Tesla's products.
Of course, the company's CEO — Elon Musk — has been heavily in the news for his proximity to President-elect Donald Trump. He's been nominated for the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, something so cringe, it physically hurts to type.
Kim's previously posted her aesthetically-challenged Cybertruck many times, so perhaps it's not super surprising that she took to social media to share her interactions with her "new friend" — a Tesla robot.

Kim makes a "heart" emoji with the robot before asking what it wants to do. In response, it moves its arms rapidly, which Kim interprets as "go running" — slightly ominous, given that it's not currently clear whether Tesla's robots can run, but still.
The robot then moves its arms fluidly, to which Kim says, "You are Hawaiian!"
An underwhelming game of Rock, Paper, Scissors then ensues:
The robot appears to be a Tesla Optimus robot, which was first announced two years ago by Elon. This past week, the company announced and sold out of its 7-inch figurine of the robot.
Great to see who our new overlord will replace us with!
