Elon Musk and his idea of sex robots with a resemblance to 'Catgirl'

Elon Musk doesn't seem to have forgotten his intention to launch robots in the catgirl style, as those female characters in manga or anime are called, who wear feline elements such as ears or tails , or trace the most delicate feline facial expressions.

In an interview with Chris Anderson, director of TED, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX recalled that he had promised his followers to create catgirls and that he could build a sex robot of this style.

In the interview, after talking with Elon Musk about Tesla's current projects and specifically about the humanoid robot that the electric mobility company is working on, Anderson asks the tycoon if he thinks there will be a robot in most cases by 2050 that will live in people's homes and whether he also believes that people will love them and count on them. “Yes, you will probably have some kind of robot friend or something,” Musk replies.

The conversation quickly turns to the sex robot when Anderson asks what kind of applications this device might have. “You know, can you have a romantic partner? A sexual?” , says the head of TED. “It's probably inevitable,” replies Elon Musk. “I mean, I promised the internet that I would do catgirls, we could make a catgirl robot.”

The promise that Elon Musk refers to is related to a tweet he published in October 2020. In particular, the businessman asked his followers: “Should Tesla make robots catgirls?”. The question was accompanied by a fire emoji, indicating that the robots would have a sexual character or style.

The publication also included a survey with two positive responses, “Absolutely” and “Of course”. Musk also posted a tweet detailing a future Tesla update related to catgirls.

What are catgirls and what is their origin

Catwoman, the fictional character in DC Comics in the Batman franchise, is considered to be the first catgirl, although she only wears a costume and does not possess natural characteristics of a cat. Catwoman first appeared in 1940. Osamu Tezuka is considered to be the first creator of the authentic catgirl in the 1950s, triggering the popularity of this element in Japanese manga.

The distinctive features of a catgirl are her ears, her tail and, in some cases, her claws. The catgirl is often depicted with the characteristics of a domestic cat: skillful, cute and tender, which makes the cosplay of a catgirl something very popular among women.

Cosplay accessories of this type include bands, headbands, tiaras or brooches of cat ears, tails, bell chokers, gloves and claw-shaped shoes. The catgirl is a very popular type of kemonomimi anime.

Cats, rabbits and foxes often relate to the female kemonomimi, while the male one regularly includes dogs and wolves, such as Inuyasha. Male kemonomimi and catboys are often found in yao, a type of Japanese anime.

How is the Tesla Bot doing

Meanwhile, the Tesla Bot is being further developed. It does not yet have a definitive release date, although it is expected to go into small-batch production sometime in 2023. Elon Musk has also revealed some important details of the also known as Optimus.

Among them, their mission will be to perform monotonous or risky tasks for humans. Also that the robot will be able to receive personalities and memories from people, although it may take a while to arrive.

Elon Musk also spoke about why he thinks his companies (Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and The Boring Company) are philanthropic in the interview with the director of TED. The director assures that they all have projects aimed at helping humanity.

Among them are the creation of tunnels aimed at solving traffic, or technologies that help solve brain injuries using artificial intelligence .
