Despite the critics, Elon Musk’s latest invention has earned a stamp of approval from none other than the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star. In a playful Instagram video, Kardashian introduced her $20,000–$30,000 Optimus Bot, gushing about its impressive features.

Next, Kardashian asked the robot what it wanted to do next, and it responded by jogging gesture. Laughing, the SKIMS founder said, “That running move gets me.” Out of nowhere, the robot then began to hula dance, and the reality star exclaimed, “Oh! You’re Hawaiian,” before asking it to blow a kiss.
The duo’s playful banter continued as Kim asked the robot its height. In a creative response, the robot raised its hand to indicate its height. Kim laughed, “Oh, you’re that tall!. The robot’s unexpected moves kept Kim entertained. It spontaneously started lifting its arms up and down, which Kim interpreted as a “raise the roof” gesture.
Watching the video, fans teased Kim saying, “lol she got a low-maintenance boyfriend.” Another quipped, “and this is the perfect love story we needed.” “Oh god did you see that that’s insane wow,” a third chimed in. ““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 😅.”
