American celebrity Kim Kardashian began promoting Tesla’s humanoid robot ‘Optimus’ and self-driving automobile ‘CyberCap’.
On the nineteenth (local time), Kardashian posted a video of herself interacting with Optimus through X (Twitter), saying, ‘Introducing a brand new friend.’
Kardashian greets the robot in a park-like space and asks it to follow along by making a heart with its hands. Also, when the robot danced the hula dance, he exclaimed, “It’s Hawaiian.”
Just a few hours later, he also posted a video of Optimus sitting in a cyber cab standing at his home. The reason is, “Optimus got here to choose me up in a cybercap.”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk also retweeted a shared photo.
In response to this, TechCrunch mentioned the likelihood that humans can have intervened in Kardashian’s robot video, just like the Cyber Cap event held last month.
In addition they identified that such a video must have indicated that it was a promotional video supported by Tesla, but this was not done.
As an alternative, he identified that Kardashian had a previous connection to Tesla. He said he owns a Tesla Cybertruck and was once arrested by the police for tinting issues.
