Kim Kardashian, the billionaire reality TV star, has a new high-tech friend that comes with a hefty price tag. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star shared a video on her Instagram Story of her interacting with a Tesla Optimus Robot, which reportedly costs between $20,000 and $30,000.

“Hi! Can you do this? I love you? ” Kim asked the robot as she waved and made a heart shape with her hand. The robot reciprocated, leaving Kim amazed.

“You know how to do that? ” she asked. She then suggested they go for a run, and the robot mimicked running movements.

It even started hula dancing, prompting Kim to joke, “Oh! You are Hawaiian.” Kim also taught the robot to blow a kiss and interpreted its arm movements as “raising the roof,” reports the Express US.

They even played a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, with Kim winning and teasing the robot for being slow.

Kim’s unexpected camaraderie with her platinum partner has set tongues wagging across the internet, igniting a flurry of cheeky comments on X. An amused fan quipped, “Hey Kim, congrats on finding the ultimate low-maintenance boyfriend! He doesn’t eat, sleep, or leave the toilet seat up. Just watch out for the world domination software update. #RobotRomance #LoveConquersTech.”

Another whimsically pondered, “Are you gonna make this a husband? ” A curious commenter admitted, “I have so many questions,” while someone else probed, “OMG what are you going to name him? ” One commentator remarked, satirically linking Kardashian to another high-profile name, “Of course she’s got an Optimus. I guess all news is good news for Tesla.”

Not staying out of the buzz, the mogul of Tesla, Elon Musk, chimed in with a sunglasses emoji under the intriguing video.

In subsequent social media shares, Kim flaunted her luxurious gold Tesla Cybertruck that, amusingly enough, came with an identically gilded robot companion. She chirped under the post, “Optimus is here to take mw for a ride in the Cybercab,”.
