Kim Kardashian beats Tesla’s humanoid robot in a game of rock-paper-scissors

Kim Kardashian

Popular reality TV star, entrepreneur, and billionaire mogul Kim Kardashian shared a series of videos on Instagram Stories, showcasing her encounter with Optimus, the humanoid robot developed by Elon Musk's company, Tesla. The robot, believed to cost between $20,000 and $30,000, was introduced by her as a ‘new friend' in these short videos.

Kardashian, in one of the videos, starts the game by saying, "Umm, rock-paper-scissors," and the robot responds by raising its hands. Then she makes the first move and wins the game, teasing the robot, "Oh, you're a little slow. I beat you." Hilariously, the Optimus humanoid throws its hands up in a surprisingly human-like gesture, indicating frustration.

Further, Kardashian also shared another video on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) where she waves "Hi" to the robot and asks, "Can you do this?" while making a heart sign with her hand. The robot mimics her gesture, surprising Kim, who gasps and says, "You know how to do that!"

These videos quickly went viral on the internet, with many celebrities leaving comments on these posts. The clip on X has now gained more than 5.5 million views, and 46K likes, impressing most social media users. Later, Kardashian also gave a glimpse of the autonomous Tesla Cybercab, a vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals. The video showcases the interior of the vehicle, with the Optimus humanoid robot ready to drive it.
