The reality TV star showed off her recent interaction with a Tesla Optimus robot—and people aren't quite sure what to think.

Sometimes it feels like we're living in the future, but not always in the best way.

Kim Kardashian lived a lot of futurists' dreams recently when she was able to test a Tesla Optimus robot, sharing her interaction in a video that quickly went viral. In the video, she made "heart hands" with the robot, and then watched as the robot pretended to hula dance, among other movements.


Tesla recently unveiled the robots at a launch, with Elon Musk citing the $30,000 machines as the "biggest product ever of any kind."

He went on to describe some of its capabilities.

“It can be a teacher, babysit your kids, it can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks, whatever you can think of, it will do.”

But people were not necessarily charmed by the robot, primed by nearly a century of literature, films, and TV shows about how robots can be dangerous.

Some folks really did want a robot like this.

Some found the video unnerving.

Some people skipped being weirded out and went straight to being scared.


Some took it in a completely different direction.



It was pretty surreal.

What's your take on this use of technology?

Sarah Palin Mocked After Responding To Trump Snubbing Her For Cabinet Post

As Trump administration 2.0 takes shape, one name is missing from the laundry list of MAGA minions who clung to president-elect Donald Trump since his election loss in 2020. And it seems to be generating some hurt feelings.

Former Republican Governor of Alaska and failed GOP vice presidential and congressional candidate Sarah Palin took to Instagram stories to vent. She posted a collage of images with Andrew Breitbart and tagged him, calling on people to remember the history of MAGA—or at least her version.
