Kim Kardashian Faces Backlash Over Promotion of Tesla Products and Friendship with Elon Musk
Kim Kardashian faces criticism for promoting Elon Musk's products and association with Trump. Social media users express mixed reactions to Kardashian's provocative photoshoot with Tesla robot. Kardashian's playful interaction with the Tesla bot sparks interest and concerns about advanced robotics.
The 44-year-old celebrity has been making waves with her social media posts featuring robots from Musk's ventures and her custom Tesla Model S car.
Many online users interpreted Kardashian's posts as a sign of support for President-elect Donald Trump, with whom Musk has aligned in recent times. Musk donated US$200 million to Trump's presidential campaign and was appointed to co-chair a board aimed at reducing the size of the federal government.
Some critics took to social media to express their disapproval, with one user stating, "Kim and her stupid robot is all I need to see to know she voted for Trump." Another user quipped, "Kim Kardashian confirming she voted for Trump via Tesla products is so funny."
Calls for a boycott of Kardashian's clothing brand, Skims, emerged due to her association with Musk and, by extension, Trump. Despite the backlash, Kardashian continued to share provocative images featuring the Tesla robot and her luxury car, which garnered mixed reactions from fans.
In a series of photos posted on Instagram, Kardashian posed alongside the robot in her Tesla Model S, wearing sheer, nude-toned tights with black stockings. The images sparked a range of responses, with some finding the shoot embarrassing and others joking about Kardashian finally finding her 'soulmate' in the robot.
Kardashian's interaction with the Tesla bot, shared in a video on Instagram, showed her engaging with the robot in playful activities like waving, making heart shapes, and playing rock-paper-scissors. The star, known for her love of Tesla vehicles, recently faced a minor issue with law enforcement over tinted windows on her futuristic ride.
Elon Musk's vision for the Tesla Bot, unveiled at AI Day, is to have robots assist with tasks like cooking, lawn mowing, and elderly care. However, the unveiling of the robot has drawn comparisons to the sci-fi movie "I, Robot," with social media users expressing concerns about the potential implications of advanced robotics in society.
