Elon Musk’s Robot Kiss: A PR Stunt or a Glimpse into the Future of Technology

Elon Musk, renowned for his pioneering work in electric vehicles and space exploration, has recently made headlines for his interactions with humanoid robots. His social media posts featuring him kissing these robots have left many people puzzled and wondering about the future of human-robot relationships. Some are even speculating about a potential robot wife that Musk has hinted at.

The images, originally taken by artist Pablo Guerrero, have recently gone viral after Twitter user Daniel Marven shared them online. The pictures show Elon Musk engaging in intimate interactions with four different female robots, and their release has coincided with the debut of Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, taking its first steps. This has only added to the fascination surrounding the situation.

Although the images have caused a stir on social media, it’s crucial to bear in mind that things aren’t always as they seem. The circumstances surrounding these unusual photographs indicate that there may be more to the situation than initially meets the eye. It’s unclear whether these displays of affection are a genuine expression of romantic interest or part of a broader marketing or artistic initiative.

Mr. Marven wrote: ’It is the first robot that has been manufactured specifically designed with artificial intelligence, with the personality and the characteristics of the female that he dreams of…which is not found in any normal person, because of course, there is no normal person that has all the required specifications.”

According to him, ’Catnilla’ is a solar-powered robot that doesn’t require charging and is equipped with sensory capabilities that allow her to experience emotions such as happiness and sadness.

In response to the unique AI-generated portraits of Musk, Twitter users have been swift to offer their reactions, igniting a flurry of comical remarks and conjecture. One individual wittily remarked, “Well, well well… what have we here?”

During Tesla’s recent shareholders’ meeting, CEO Elon Musk shared an awe-inspiring video of the company’s Optimus robots in action, highlighting remarkable advancements made since the prototype’s debut at last year’s Tesla AI Day.

The footage showcases five Optimus robots walking and flexing their capabilities, including item retrieval, task completion, and the utilization of Tesla gadgets. The impressive demonstration serves as a testament to Tesla’s continued commitment to innovation and technological advancement.

As Elon Musk continues to push the envelope with his innovative ideas and technological advancements, the world is left wondering — was the robot kiss a mere publicity stunt or a sign of things to come? Whatever the answer may be, one thing is certain — the future is looking brighter than ever before.

Lisa Marie Presley kept her son Benjamin’s body at home for two months after he passed away.

Lisa Marie Presley was so devastated by the loss of her son, Benjamin Keough, that she kept his body in her home for two months after he passed away. She even invited a tattoo artist to see him so she could get matching tattoos.

This is just one of many surprising details in Lisa Marie’s new memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, which was completed by her daughter, actress Riley Keough, after Lisa Marie passed away in January 2023.

In her book, Lisa Marie shared that she had to fight to stay alive for her other children, Riley and her twin daughters Harper and Finley, who are now 16. She didn’t say goodbye to Benjamin right away because she was torn between burying him in Hawaii or at Graceland, the Memphis estate where Elvis, her father, is buried.

Lisa Marie kept the room at 55 degrees to preserve Benjamin’s body and got so used to caring for him and having him there.

Riley and Lisa Marie decided to honor Benjamin by getting tattoos like his. Benjamin had his sister’s name on his collarbone and his mom’s name on his hand. Riley had her brother’s name tattooed on her collarbone, and a tattoo artist was called to Lisa Marie’s home to add Benjamin’s name to her hand. When the artist asked if they had photos of Benjamin’s tattoos to match the font and placement, Lisa Marie said, “No, but I can show you.”

Riley writes: “Lisa Marie Presley had just asked this poor man to look at her dead son, who was right next to us in the guest house. I’ve had a very strange life, but this moment is one of the weirdest.”

Lisa Marie also knew it was strange. She said, “I think it would scare the heck out of anyone else to have their son there like that. But not me.”

Lisa Marie said she lost her “spark” after her son, seen here as a 10-year-old with his mom and sister Riley, took his own life in July 2020.

Soon after the tattoo day, Riley remembers that everyone felt like Benjamin wanted to be laid to rest.

Even Lisa Marie said she could feel him communicating with her, saying, “This is crazy, Mom, what are you doing? What the heck!”

The family held a funeral for Benjamin in Malibu, and New Age author Deepak Chopra led the ceremony. Riley said she had to keep her eyes closed the whole time because she was struggling to cope with everything.

Benjamin was buried at Graceland, next to Elvis, and Lisa Marie would later be buried there too.

Riley writes a lot about her brother’s struggles with mental health and how he often went on drinking binges. She doesn’t believe he truly wanted to die.

After his death, she and her mom went through his phone, looking for answers.

Riley writes, “We found a text he sent to my mom a couple of weeks before he died that said, ‘I think something’s wrong with me mentally. I think I have a mental health issue.’ It’s heartbreaking to me that he only realized he might need help just two weeks before he took his own life.”
