Elon Musk-faced robot dog turns heads on San Francisco streets, goes viral online

San Francisco: A robot dog featuring a face resembling tech billionaire Elon Musk has been seen moving through the streets of San Francisco, drawing widespread public attention.

The robot is seen walking across roads, greeting people with hand gestures and appearing to interact with its surroundings. Its face is made of silicone and closely resembles a human appearance, which has added to public curiosity. Videos show the robot sitting, moving around and even interacting with real dogs, and these visuals have gone viral on social media platforms.

The creation is part of an art installation titled "Regular Animals" by digital artist Mike Winkelmann, also known as Beeple. It was first displayed at Art Basel in Miami last year.

Along with Elon Musk, the artist has also created robot dogs featuring the faces of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

The robot is also equipped with a feature that allows it to click photographs of people and print them instantly from its rear section. The artist has described this function in a humorous way as the robot's "pooping" feature.

Reactions on social media platform X have been mixed. While some users found the robot entertaining, others said it appeared unsettling, especially at night. Videos of real dogs reacting aggressively to the robot have also circulated online.
