Kim Kardashian has made it clear before that she loves Tesla (remember that photoshoot?), and if anyone doubted her before, there’s simply no arguments left. The reality star just posted clips of her gifting her friend a Tesla Cybercab to her Instagram stories, and while most fans are jealous of Kim’s friend, others felt she was “showing off” and are calling her out for it. Keep reading for more information.
Kim Kardashian Gifts Her Friend A Tesla
Kim Kardashian chose her friend and employee Tracy Romulus to gift a $96k Tesla Cybercab for Christmas, and had the entire interaction filmed. Romulus, who works for Kim as Executive Vice President, Communications of SKIMS, can be seen in the clips with her hands over her mouth in disbelief while Kim stands in front of the car bearing a giant red bow.
Tracy posted the video to her Instagram story, which Kim reposted, with the words "I honestly have no words... @KimKardashian no one does gift giving like you... this is so over the top crazy...only you...I love you..." written at the top. In the clip, Tract can be heard exclaiming, "What! Kim are you f***ing serious? Are you nuts? Are you crazy!"
Fans Slam Kim Kardashian For 'Showing Off'
However, fans across all the social media platforms, from Reddit to X, thought this was a bit much, even for Kim. "Kim’s rich, no doubt, but she’s giving major new-money vibes," one person wrote. "Honestly, she might as well drop a music video flaunting her wealth instead of this passive flex."
"lol ofc a millionaire gives more extravagant gifts then like a regular family member, this amount of money means nothing to Kim, it’s like a $50 Sephora gift card to her," another agreed.
"Kim is being incredibly tone-deaf given what’s happening in the world right now. Lately, she’s been posting a lot about her wealth," said a third.
"When is she not showing off?" asked a final user.
