As a seasoned observer of technology and its impact on our lives, I must say that the recent unveiling of Elon Musk’s Tesla Bot left me with a mix of intrigue and concern, much like the 2004 Sci-fi movie “I, Robot” did for many. Having grown up in the era of robots and automation, I can’t help but draw parallels between the two.


Kim Kardashian is facing criticism as ‘odd’ due to her unusual nighttime photoshoot featuring Elon Musk’s $30,000 Tesla robot.

Under a voluminous black coat, the 44-year-old Kardashian star went without a top while seated on a robot’s lap during a photo shoot in the driver’s seat of her personalized Tesla Model S vehicle.

She donned semi-transparent, beige-hued stockings underneath black ones adorned with a garter belt design, giving an appearance as if Kim wasn’t wearing any undergarments at all.

She squatted next to the expensive car, looking stylish, as the robot lounged comfortably in the driver’s seat, one foot propped up on Kim’s driveway.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Kim was pictured from the waist down, with a robot seemingly brushing against her thigh.

Another showed Kim and the robot holding hands inside the luxury electric car.

Supporters of the Kardashians found the photoshoot quite surprising, with several labeling it as ‘awkward’ and ‘unsettling’.

Some voiced that they found the ‘sexualization’ of the robot to be ‘disturbing.’

Meanwhile, others thought the shoot was funny and joked that Kim finally found her ‘soulmate.’ 

Earlier this week, I experienced an unusual encounter with my Tesla robot, and I decided to share that experience in a video I posted on Instagram on Monday.

She was captured on camera waving at the robot, which then returned the wave, followed by her requesting the robot to form a heart shape with its hands.

Kardashian, who has been seen without makeup on social media lately, was taken aback when the robot managed to execute the movement.

The robot pretended to run, performed a hula dance, and pointed to its head when queried about its height.

Kardashian asked the robot to play rock paper scissors – with the machine duly complying.

The star is a noted fan of the Tesla brand and is often snapped in her cybertruck.

It is not known of the robot was loaned to her or she had been gifted the item. 

Recently, the celebrity was traveling along Pacific Coast Highway in her recently acquired futuristic vehicle on a Thursday, and an officer stopped her due to the tint on her front windshield, according to reports from TMZ.

Apparently, the tint was too dark for California’s vehicle regulations.

Insiders said that Kim ‘kept it cool’ with the cops, even after being cited.

To avoid receiving a fine, she must have the window tint fixed and then present proof of this correction at the sheriff’s office.

It appears that Kim has had trouble with window tinting before; back in 2013, she received a warning for excessively dark windows on another car while traveling through Calabasas, as reported by TMZ.

In the vibrant month of February 2024, I proudly expanded my personal vehicle collection with the addition of a brand-new Cybertruck, and come May, I couldn’t resist adding another stunning piece – a sleek matte black edition.

The industrial and household-purpose robot was unveiled during AI Day on September 30, following its initial announcement at an AI Day back in August 2021.

‘Tesla Bots are initially positioned to replace people in repetitive, boring, and dangerous tasks.

However, the goal is for these devices to assist millions of homes with tasks like cooking, lawn care, and elder care, as stated by Musk in a piece he penned for China Cyberspace magazine.

However, several social media users have begun to make connections with the 2004 sci-fi film “I, Robot” that takes place in 2035, following the release of videos showing Musk’s robots.

The story unfolds in the bustling city of Chicago, where a thrilling action movie is played out. In this tale, advanced robots assume roles in various public services globally, adhering to three guidelines designed for human safety.

Several concerned viewers of Musk’s video left comments likening the Optimus droids to the movie.

‘Am I the only one who remembers iRobot?’ wrote one X, formerly Twitter, user.

‘iRobot just became reality,’ warned another.

A third added: ‘Somebody call Detective Spooner! I’m getting i, Robot chills.’

‘No, thank you. I saw ‘I, Robot,’ said one more.

A voice joined the conversation: ‘This reminds me of a film we’ve watched before. Couldn’t it have been ‘I, Robot,’ starring Will Smith? It doesn’t have a happy ending.’

Back in 2022, I, a die-hard fanboy, found myself utterly captivated when Elon Musk revealed the intentional design of the android he dubbed, “Tesla bot.” The design choices were nothing short of ingenious!

The Tesla Robot is roughly the size and mass of an average human, capable of handling and lifting bulky items, moving swiftly by taking short strides, and its facial display serves as a communicative interface through which it interacts with people.

As a lifestyle expert, I can share that our design choice for this robot was inspired by the fundamental structure of human society. We’ve modeled it after a bipedal humanoid, equipped with two arms and ten fingers, as this configuration is inherent to how we interact and engage in our daily lives.

In simpler terms, for a robot to adjust to its surroundings and perform tasks like humans, it needs to be approximately similar in size, form, and abilities to a human, as Elon Musk put it.
