Why exactly did Kim Kardashian pose for a photo with a Tesla robot? Fans say it’s weird.
According to her, she didn’t get paid for the gig. She did it…for free? Is it for fun?
Unfortunately, this has upset Kim’s fans, with some even commenting that the 44-year-old is experiencing a midlife crisis.
Others just think she has terrible judgment.
Kim Kardashian did a Tesla photoshoot
Before we get into the lack of compensation, let’s talk about these strange photos.
About a week before Thanksgiving, Kim Kardashian posted on Instagram. She shared a photo of herself posing next to Elon Musk’s infamous new car, the Tesla Cybertruck.
Also in the photo was a $30,000 robot (unfortunately named Optimus). Kim herself looked great as always, but fans who saw the photo were disgusted by her.

One commenter quipped: “What does a midlife crisis look like?” We think it’s unfair to attack Kim’s age, even though she wasn’t super sexy at 44.
Another Instagram user said: “This is so weird.” Countless other commenters expressed similar sentiments.
“There’s something deeply disgusting about this,” another wrote. Well, the video of her “interacting” with a Tesla robot couldn’t have been better.

She claims Kim was not paid for her posts on Tesla.
Days after Kim’s bizarre Tesla post, her spokesperson said: new york timeshe did it do not have Receive payment for your posts.
Notably, Kim has previously gotten into trouble for not disclosing paid endorsements, amounting to seven-figure fines.
So we have to believe that Mr. Kim is telling the truth here. Despite this apparent error in judgment, she usually displays a deceptively sharp intelligence.
Many companies and brands will pay a high price to achieve this. of Kim Kardashian shows off her products to her nearly 360 million followers on Instagram.
Instagram endorsements don’t have the same level of influence as they did 10 years ago. The same could be said about Kim’s influence.
But it’s still a huge ad. And now we have to conclude that Kim decided to introduce a polarizing brand owned by a deeply controversial figure…just for fun?
Why is there a backlash?
For those of you who don’t understand why people make fun of Teslas and other ridiculous $30,000 “robots,” there are several reasons why.
Ignoring Tesla’s questionable history with robots, the product has gained notoriety in the years since Elon Musk bought the company.
Experts working on cars say the cars are poorly made. People in the once core market for Tesla cars are getting rid of their cars and vowing not to buy new ones.
It’s not just about the car, it’s also about the brand. Elon Musk’s brand is so toxic that forbes It reports how he is alienating customers. That was the case even before he started doing big boy jumps on stage with disgraced former (and future) President Donald Trump.
Posing with a car and a “robot” owned by one of the worst people in the modern world is not a good look. What is Kim thinking?
Oh no, do I have to listen to her talk about this? kardashian family?
