Kim Kardashian Drastically Misreads Room, Poses With Cybertruck in New Shoot

She also got cozy with a Tesla robot in a photoshoot for Perfect Magazine.

In one of the most egregious recent examples of a rich celebrity misreading the room, Kim Kardashian has shared images of a recent editorial she shot with Perfect magazine in which she poses on a Tesla Cybertruck and with a Tesla robot.

Many of the photos, taken by Steven Klein for a special edition of Perfect magazine, show Kardashian posing in the back of a Tesla Cybertruck, while in others she can be seen embracing a Tesla robot, including one photo where she and the robot are lying on a mattress next to the ocean in an embrace.

Kardashian is no stranger to being out of touch, but using Tesla products as props after almost two straight months of Tesla CEO Elon Musk assisting President Donald Trump in decimating the U.S. federal government is bound to produce a significant backlash.

Negative comments have already begun rolling in on Instagram, with multiple users asking Kardashian what exactly it is they’re looking at, while one person joked, “Iconic! (If that truck was on fire!),” a reference to the fact that Tesla vehicles and dealerships have been targeted by vandals across the United States and Europe as an act of protest against the Musk-Trump oligarchy.

It is not just this one particular creature. Look at who is on the late night programs. Look at the teevee programming. The vast majority of pop culture is just pap.

A friend of mine seems to have reruns of "Big Bang" on continuously. This is the worst of the worst. Give it the no-laugh-tracks test. Without the laugh tracks there is absolutely nothing funny or even slightly clever in any of the dialog. Throw in laugh tracks and Americans think it is great. Laugh tracks are the equivalent of Kardashian's fake boobs.



Compare that with Family Guy, which uses no laugh tracks, yet comes through with some humor. It may not be everybody's cup of tea, but the intellect gap between the two shows is immense. Unfortunately a large percent of the country prefers fake boobs and laugh tracks.
