“It’s probably inevitable,” Musk said after being asked if robots could ever become romantic or sex partners.

“I mean, I did promise the internet that I’d make catgirls,” he added. “We could make a robot catgirl.”

Musk has repeatedly talked about his infatuation with catgirls, which are fictional human female characters with cat ears, tails, and whiskers, often portrayed in anime and manga.

In 2019, he joked that an upcoming Tesla software feature would not only blow customers’ minds, but it’d also be a “crucial step towards catgirls.”
