AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian is once again at the center of controversy following her latest photoshoot for Perfect Magazine. The Skims co-founder shared a series of futuristic images featuring her posing with a Tesla Cybertruck and embracing a humanoid Tesla robot.
Kardashian posted the photos, shot by photographer Steven Klein, to her Instagram, where she has amassed over 357 million followers. While some fans praised her stunning appearance, many others were quick to criticize her, accusing her of aligning herself with Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk. One commenter wrote, "She definitely picked a side," using a red flag emoji to emphasize their point.
The controversy stems from Musk's political connections and his role in supporting former President Donald Trump's efforts to restructure the federal government.
The alliance between Musk and Trump has made Tesla a politically charged symbol, causing some celebrities to boycott the brand. However, Kardashian's continued support of Tesla has not gone unnoticed.
Social media erupted with backlash. One user wrote, "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."
Another commented, "You can always find the money where Kim Kardashian is at," referencing her apparent prioritization of financial gains over social justice issues.
Additionally, some commenters drew connections between Kardashian's photos and recent geopolitical tensions. One remarked, "Well, that's a very clear side just picked, the same one that sides with Russia. Not great."
Despite the loud criticism, Kardashian kept mum.
This isn't the first time Kardashian's political leanings have been questioned. Earlier this year, she faced scrutiny for sharing a photo of Melania Trump at Donald Trump's 2017 inauguration, which many interpreted as an endorsement of the Trump administration.
While Kardashian's fans continue to be captivated by her aesthetic, the debate over her Perfect Magazine shoot underscores the complex intersection of celebrity, politics, and public opinion. As controversy continues to swirl, it remains to be seen how Kardashian will navigate the ongoing criticism.
