Kim Kardashian, who is close to Ivanka Trump and has been seen talking to Elon Musk on several occasions, gives enough clues for people to conclude that she’s gone MAGA, saying she didn’t take money from Tesla to pose with its futuristic robot. . Kardashian posted a series of photographs of herself on Instagram posing together in front of and inside the X Tesla CyberCab. The best robot In the driver’s seat.
A rep for Kardashian told the New York Times that no payment was received in exchange for the post.
Kardashian’s association with Trump is not new and the first photo of Ivanka Trump with Kardashian surfaced in 2023 when Kardashian celebrated her birthday at Funke, an Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. The group photo Kardashian posted included Jeff Bezos’ partner Lauren Sanchez and Ivanka Trump.
Ivanka is no longer in her father’s inner circle now that the Kardashians still have a strong foothold in MAGA territory. But why would she post with Tesla futuristic products if she wasn’t advertising for them and if she didn’t get paid by Tesla?
A return to favor with the Trump family?
The NYT report said that the Trump family has helped her on that front in the past and will soon be back in power politically, thus keeping her comfortable with Trump. In 2018, Kardashian, whose father was a prominent attorney and businessman, became involved in efforts to help free Alice Marie Johnson, who was sentenced to life in prison for her involvement in a 1996 cocaine-smuggling operation. Kardashian met Donald Trump at the White House where she told him Johnson’s story.
In 2020, Kim decided not to endorse any presidential candidate after she disappointed Trump. “I was disappointed in Kim,” Donald Trump said in an interview. “With Kim, I did a lot of prison reform that she couldn’t do with anyone else.” “I let people out of jail who deserved to let me out,” he added. “And then after it was all over, she announced that she wasn’t endorsing me. And she did it just to be cool in Hollywood.
In this election too, Kardashian did not endorse any candidate and remained silent after Donald Trump’s victory. When she posted photos of the Tesla this week, it was seen as an ad for Elon Musk and therefore a pitch for Trump.
