Bizarre photos of Elon Musk kissing a creepy robot have left the internet baffled - with many suggesting it could be his next wife.
The Twitter billionaire, 51, has been pictured with several female humanoids, which have been designed with artificial intelligence, and share the characteristics and personalities of females.
It has since emerged the images were made using Artificial Intelligence.
David Marven, CEO of a construction company, posted the images online and cheekily asked: "Elon Musk announces the future wife, who is she?"
The robots were in fact "Catnilla", who is a solar-powered robot that does not need charging and is "equipped with sensory means that make her feel sad and happy".
Mr Marven added: "It is the first robot that has been manufactured specifically designed with artificial intelligence, with the personality and the characteristics of the female that he dreams of… which is not found in any normal person, because of course, there is no normal person that has all the required specifications.
"She has a balanced and interactive mindset… so she can share it if she is in a crisis or the feelings that she is experiencing or needs when she is exposed to any psychological stress."
However, he later added the bizarre images of the robots kissing Elon Musk were, in fact, made using artificial intelligence.
The purpose of the post was to "clarify the dangers of AI", according to Mr Marven.
"Especially after Tesla Company released the first integrated robot 'Optimus'," he added.
Twitter users were left stunned after it was revealed the pictures were created by using AI.
One user said: "This post does clarify one of the dangers of AI - it is being used to generate images like these to fool people into thinking they are real."
Another joked: "The Black Mirror trailer just dropped."
One user joked they needed a male version so they could get all the housework chores done.
They wrote: "Where's the male version. I was always playing to get a robot husband. Does all chores, never argues, and has all the needed settings."
The freaky robots can complete simple tasks such as picking things up, walking and can even talk, which led to Mr Musk labelling them as "companions."
The Tesla chief was due to use the "Optimus" robot for a presentation in September as he claimed the prototype would "be a fundamental transformation for civilisation as we know it."
However, the robot was slammed by experts who insisted they were nothing special as they run off WIFI, LTE connectivity and Tesla's autopilot software.
Cynthia Yeung, head of product at plus One Robotics, tweeted: "None of this is cutting edge. Hire some PhDs and go to some robotics conferences @Tesla."
AI researcher Filip Piekniewski tweeted it was "next level cringeworthy" and a "complete and utter scam."
