— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) November 18, 2024 Then she joins a one-of-a-kind gold version of the robot to sit inside Tesla’s Cybercab, a two-passenger autonomous vehicle that CEO Elon Musk says will begin production in 2027. However, even Musk admitted that he’s not always realistic with his timelines — after all, he predicted in 2019 that Tesla would have a million robotaxis on the road within a year. It has been nearly five. Tesla flaunted its Optimus robots at its We, Robot event last month, and while the event was flashy, the robots that greeted guests on the ground were not autonomous: They were controlled by humans. So, it’s likely that Kardashian’s experience with Optimus was mediated by humans as well. Kardashian’s videos don’t show any actual driving in the Cybercab, but she describes the vehicle as “insane” and “crazy.” Musk hasn’t responded directly to Kardashian’s videos, but he retweeted one of them on X. Kardashian didn’t flag the videos as being sponsored — something that is legally mandated for influencers to disclose —but we know she has already bought into the Tesla sphere. She owns a Cybertruck, though TMZ says she was recently pulled over because her front window was tinted too dark. Maybe Optimus can help her fix that. Topics
