Can a robot be your new bestie? If you’re Kim Kardashian, the answer is a resounding yes! The reality star and media mogul recently introduced her new robotic pal, Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, on her social media—and fans are losing it.
Kim Kardashian Meets Tesla’s Robot, Optimus
On November 19, Kim took to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to show off her interactions with Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot. From playful games to surprising tricks, the videos have taken the internet by storm.
In one clip, Kim played a round of Rock, Paper, Scissors with Optimus. The robot, though a bit slow, responded to Kim’s move by raising its arm. Kim teased the robot for its delay, prompting a hilariously human-like reaction that some fans interpreted as robotic “frustration.”

Another video showed Kim forming a heart shape with her hands and asking Optimus, “Can you do this?” To her surprise, the robot mimicked her gesture perfectly. Stunned, Kim exclaimed, “You know how to do that!” Optimus also showed off some dance moves, adding to its growing list of “talents.”
Fans couldn’t resist poking fun at Kim’s new high-tech companion. Some hilariously dubbed Optimus her “ultimate low-maintenance boyfriend.” One user joked, “He doesn’t eat, sleep, or leave the toilet seat up!” Another quipped, “She’ll probably have better luck with this guy than with the ones she’s married!”
Even Tesla’s official Optimus account joined in on the fun, cheekily tweeting, “Sorry you had to find out this way.”
More Than Just a Robot
At 44, Kim Kardashian is proving she’s always ahead of the curve—whether it’s with Skims, her beauty empire, or now, a robot sidekick.
So, will robots take over Hollywood? If Optimus keeps up with Kim’s energy, it just might! For now, fans are loving this unexpected duo and are eagerly awaiting what Kim and her new BFF will do next.
