— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) November 20, 2024 ##> The robot, designed by Elon Musk’s Tesla, added a sci-fi edge that wasn’t enough to curb public backlash. Critics questioned whether Kardashian’s use of Tesla products was a subtle endorsement of Musk or even an indication of her political stance. Some commenters pointed to Musk’s recent appointment by President-elect Donald Trump to head the newly formed “Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE)” as potential grounds for Kim’s perceived alignment with Trump. The sexualized nature of the photoshoot also stirred discomfort among fans. Critics scoffed at the merging of lingerie-clad poses with cutting-edge technology, calling the imagery “weird” and out-of-touch. One dissatisfied user commented, “Sorry Kim, you’re not gonna normalize this weird behavior for us. We don’t want this!” Others went beyond Kardashian’s photo choices, lamenting the broader implications of technology encroaching on everyday life. “I hate this for mankind,” wrote one concerned critic, reflecting unease about the rapid integration of robotics and automation into society. Whether Kardashian intended to spark such divisive debates remains unknown, but the images have undoubtedly ignited conversations about technology, politics, and celebrity influence.
