THIS is the eerie moment Kim Kardashian beats her new Tesla robot at rock-paper-scissors and lets it drive her Cybercab.
The star is the first to receive Elon Musk’s humanoid bot Optimus.
Surreal footage on X shows Kim waving at her new bot-buddy which is seen towering over her in the clip.
The Tesla cyborg waves back at her and also forms half of a love-heart with Kim.
The video shows it blow her a kiss and attempt to dance by waving its arms.
The gadget’s head faces away from the camera when not doing something.
The arms appear to lack a fluidity of movement and its faceless design makes it look bizarre.
Even stranger, the bot is seen standing completely still with its arms up as it awaits its next instruction.
In another startling video, Optimus is seen in Kim’s Cybercab.
The bot has been placed in the driving seat, with one of its legs casually resting outside of the vehicle and its hand on its thigh.
As Kim brings the camera over the perfectly smooth gold exterior, Optimus is seen looking directly at the camera this time, as if it was waiting for her to arrive.
In October, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the creepy droids.
Reactions have been divided over Kim’s new friend.
One comment under her X post showing off Optimus read: “I want one.”
Another read: “Tesla knows how to market their products better than anybody else.”
On the other end of the spectrum, some people expressed their concern at what they were seeing.
A wary comment said: “Have we learned nothing from James Cameron? Can we keep Terminator fiction and not a documentary?!”
Despite the varied reactions Kim’s massive social media following has helped show off the new Tesla toy.
The two videos she posted of Optimus currently have a combined 9,000,000 views.
This follows the official Optimus launch from Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
They can reportedly do anything, including babysitting.
Elon boasted: “You’re really gonna have something spectacular. Something that anyone could own.
“You can have your own personal R2-D2 [or] C3-PO.
“It can be a teacher, or babysit your kids, walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks, whatever you can think of, it will do.”
The faceless bot, dubbed an “autonomous assistant” or a “humanoid friend” by Tesla, can be seen picking up a parcel at the doorstep, watering plants as a human family enjoys their time together.
It can then be seen joining in on the fun and playing games with a dad and his children before it goes on to help mum in the kitchen.
An exact price for the bot is yet to be announced by Musk has previously suggested it will be lower than $20,000 (£17,900).
A second version of the machine, dubbed Optimus II, works 30 times faster than the last one.
It’s also 10kg lighter and has a more human like build.
Optimus has been given a 2025 release window in Tesla factories before being made available to other companies in 2026.
It is unclear if Tesla plans to drip feed their latest creation via more celebrities, but it seems Kim K’s videos are the first real-life disapply of what they can do.
