The 44-year-old reality TV star had fun with Elon Musk's brand new Tesla Bot, which she showed off in a video to her 359 million Instagram followers on Tuesday (19.11.24).
Powered by artificial intelligence, the $30,000 robot can carry out typical everyday tasks, inside and outside homes.
In the clip posted by Kim, they greeted each other with a wave, followed by Kim making a half heart symbol for her mechanoid friend to complete.
Kim also beats her Tesla robot at rock-paper-scissors and lets it drive her Cybercab.
The SKIMS founder then asked "what shall we do", with the bot 'thinking' for a few seconds before moving his arms up and down to signify going for a run.
The video ended with the white and black robot doing hula hand gestures.
Many people were quick to leave their thoughts, with one saying: "I love Tesla but this is creepy. No way I could go to sleep with that thing inside my house."
Optimus was announced at Tesla's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Day event on August 19, 2021, before a prototype was unveiled in 2022.
Elon, 53, said the Tesla bot has "the potential to be more significant than the vehicle business over time".
He hopes after a successful initial limited production rollout in the firm's facilities next year, they could become available to other companies in 2026.
