Kim Kardashian seems to have picked up a “low-maintenance boyfriend” with a hefty price tag.
The billionaire reality star-turned-mogul took to both X and her Instagram Story on Monday to share a video of her interacting with a Tesla Optimus Robot, which is reportedly worth between $20,000 and $30,000.
“Hi! Can you do this? I love you?” Kardashian — who already owns a Tesla Cybertruck — said to the humanoid robot as she waved and held out one of her hands in the shape of half a heart.
She gasped after the machine waved back and then held its hand out to complete her heart. “You know how to do that?” she said in amazement.
“OK, what should we do?” she wondered aloud, prompting the bot to mimic the arm movements of a runner.
“Go running,” the “Kardashians” star, 44, deduced with a chuckle. “Let’s go for a run.”
Unprompted, the automaton then began hula dancing. “Oh! You are Hawaiian,” Kardashian let out before asking it if it can “blow a kiss.”
After she showed the robot how to do it and instructed it to lift its “hand to the face,” it successfully reciprocated the gesture.
“You’re so cute! How tall are you?” she asked the machine, which began simulating running before lifting its hand to the height of its head.
“Oh, you’re that tall,” the Skims co-founder responded as the bot started “running” again.
“Op! Sure. You stay fit by running,” Kardashian said with another laugh, admitting that “that running move gets [her] every time.”
Again unprompted, the android decided to lift its bent arms up and down, which the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum interpreted to mean as “raising the roof.”
The pair then played a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors; Kardashian counted to three before she held out “scissors” and the android flashed “paper.”
“Oh, you’re a little slow,” the mother of four noted. “I beat you.”
Fans online couldn’t help but poke fun at the single celeb, with one commenting, “Hey Kim, congrats on finding the ultimate low-maintenance boyfriend! He doesn’t eat, sleep, or leave the toilet seat up. Just watch out for the world domination software update. #RobotRomance #LoveConquersTech 😅.”
“are you gonna make this a husband?” someone else wondered.
“She would have better luck with this than the guys she’s married,” another netizen quipped.
Kardashian was married to music producer Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004, retired NBA player Kris Humphries from 2011 to 2013 and rapper-turned-designer Kanye West — the father of her children — from 2014 to 2022.
Her last public relationship was with comedian Pete Davidson.
