Why Is Kim Kardashian Under Fire For Her Intimate Pose With A Tesla Robot?
Kim Kardashian is no stranger to controversy, but her latest photoshoot with a Tesla robot and Cybertruck has sparked a major online backlash. Fans have been quick to criticize the reality star for misjudging the mood, especially amid Elon Musk’s company’s recent controversies.
The Controversial Photoshoot
On Friday evening, Kim Kardashian posted a series of sultry photos to her Instagram from a recent shoot for Perfect Magazine. In the photos, Kardashian posed in the back of a Tesla Cybertruck, while in others, she embraced a Tesla robot. One particularly eye-catching shot showed her lying next to the robot on a mattress by the ocean. In this intimate moment, Kardashian’s head rested on the robot’s chest with one leg draped over it, her backside prominently displayed.
The photoshoot quickly caught the attention of the internet, but not for the reasons Kardashian likely intended.

Fans Slam the Photoshoot
Social media erupted with criticism, with many questioning the reasoning behind the shoot. Some fans voiced their frustration, with one writing, “Weird. I thought you cared about civil rights, and that’s why you did that whole law school thing. Guess that wasn’t for serious or something.” Others took aim at her choice of the robot, calling it “embarrassing” and one user lamented, “Damn, I really can’t believe it’s come down to this… even Kim can’t find a good man to be with.”
On the Elon Musk-owned X platform, people were equally critical. One user remarked, “This billionaire is serving mad schizo right now,” adding that Kardashian was still “showing her a-s for clout.” Some even made reference to the future of human-robot relationships, writing, “This reminds me of that post that says women will have sex with robots by 2025.”
Kim’s Longtime Love for Tesla
Despite the backlash, it’s no secret that Kim Kardashian has been a long-time fan of Tesla products. She’s often spotted driving her custom Tesla vehicles, including her signature Cybertruck. In fact, Kardashian was even pulled over by the police once for having excessively dark windshield tint on her Cybertruck, which violated California vehicle regulations. While she was issued a fix-it ticket, it’s not the first time she’s faced issues for her dark tints—she was previously warned about it back in 2013.
Kim Hints at a Fourth Marriage
As if the photoshoot wasn’t enough to fuel public conversation, Kim Kardashian also hinted that she may walk down the aisle for a fourth time. The mother of four opened up about her future plans during a recent episode of The Kardashians. She revealed that she’s “secretly” dating someone and mentioned her plans to marry “a fourth” time. This revelation comes after her high-profile divorces from Damon Thomas, Kris Humphries, and Kanye West.
While attending a wedding in Mumbai, India, Kardashian couldn’t help but wonder aloud what her next engagement ring might look like. “I wonder what my next ring shape will be?” she said, referring to her “last and final hurrah.”

The Ring That Was Taken Back
In the same episode, Kardashian reflected on her previous engagement rings, sharing stories behind each one. Her first engagement ring, a cushion-cut diamond from Damon Thomas, still holds sentimental value, though she still has it. However, her second ring, a lavish 18-carat emerald cut from Kris Humphries, was a different story. When their marriage ended in a swift 72-day divorce, Humphries insisted she return the $2 million ring before their split was finalized.
Kardashian’s third ring, a cushion cut diamond from Kanye West, holds special meaning, especially because it’s the only piece of jewelry she didn’t take on her infamous trip to Paris, where she was robbed at gunpoint. In an emotional turn, Kardashian revealed that she plans to keep that ring for her daughter North, as she was present for the engagement.

The Fallout
While Kim Kardashian’s latest photoshoot and marriage hints have kept her in the public eye, the backlash is a reminder of how closely her actions are scrutinized. Fans are torn between admiration for her business savvy and frustration over her choices in the spotlight. Whether it’s her daring photoshoots or her relationship history, Kardashian continues to stir up conversations, proving she’s never too far from controversy.
In the end, it seems that Kim Kardashian’s life will always be a mix of fame, fashion, and fierce criticism. Whether she’s embracing a Tesla robot or hinting at future marriages, one thing’s for sure—she knows how to keep the world talking.
