Kim Kardashian raised eyebrows after her recent bizarre photo shoot with Elon Musk‘s $30,0000 Tesla bot.
Now a representative for the star has cleared up whether or not she was paid by Musk, 53, to pose with the droid.
A rep for Kim told The New York Times that the 44-year-old was not financially compensated for the photos.
However, the outlet noted that Kim was previously fined $1.26M by the SEC for failing to disclose she was paid $250k to promote cryptocurrency on Instagram.
The comment was made in a story headlined ‘Is Kim Kardashian Trying to Tell Us Something?’, which noted how her recent shoot sparked accusations Kim supported president-elect Donald Trump amid his friendship with Musk.
The profile went into detail about Kim working with Trump to release prisoner Alice Marie Johnson and her friendship with his daughter Ivanka Trump, however she has otherwise remained politically neutral in public.

Kim has been showing off the robot on social media as of late, and was interacting with the droid as if they were friends in her recent shoot.
Going topless under a puffy black jacket, the Kardashians star sat on the robot’s lap as they posed in the driver’s seat of her custom Tesla Model S car.
She wore sheer, nude-toned tights with black stockings and a garter belt printed on them — creating the illusion that Kim wasn’t wearing any underwear.
She crouched down beside the pricey vehicle in her sexy look while the robot relaxed in the driver’s seat with one foot resting on Kim’s driveway.
One shot, which she shared to Instagram last week, captured Kim from the neck down as the robot appeared to touch her thigh.
Another showed Kim and the robot holding hands inside the luxury electric car.
Fans of Kardashian were left shocked by the photoshoot, with many calling it ’embarrassing’ and ‘scary.’
Some voiced that they found the ‘sexualization’ of the robot to be ‘disturbing.’
Meanwhile, others thought the shoot was funny and joked that Kim finally found her ‘soulmate.’

Kim had a creepy interaction with her Tesla bot earlier that same week, which she shared in a video posted to Instagram.
She was filmed waving at the robot – who waved back – before asking the bot to make a heart shape with their hands.
Kardashian — who recently went makeup-free on social media — was shocked as the robot was able to complete the gesture.
The robot mimed a running motion, did a hula dance and placed a hand near its head when asked how tall it is.
Kardashian asked the robot to play rock paper scissors – with the machine duly complying.
The star is a noted fan of the Tesla brand and is often snapped in her cybertruck.

Kim’s nighttime photo-shoot with her bot comes days after she debuted it on her Instagram Story
It is not known of the robot was loaned to her or she had been gifted the item.
Just days ago the star was cruising down the PCH in her brand-new futuristic ride on Thursday when a cop pulled her over for her tinted front windshield, sources told TMZ.
Apparently, the tint was too dark for California‘s vehicle regulations.
Insiders said that Kim ‘kept it cool’ with the cops, even after being cited.
The fix-it ticket means she can avoid a fine as long as she gets the tint corrected and shows up at the sheriff’s station to prove it.
This isn’t Kim’s first run-in with window tinting issues. Back in 2013, she got a warning for dark windows in a different vehicle while driving through Calabasas, per TMZ.
Kim added her first Cybertruck to her collection in February 2024, followed by a sleek matte black version in May.
The robot, which is intended for industrial and domestic uses, debuted at AI Day on September 30 after first being announced at AI Day in August 2021.
