Elon Musk notoriously steals content and passes it off as his own. He even justified stealing other people's content to me directly in a response to a story I wrote about this topic for the NYT just 2 years ago https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/07/style/elon-musk-memes.html
Elon Musk and Memes: A Controversy Over Giving Creators Credit

The billionaire has been posting content creators’ work without credit. Some are frustrated; others, simply puzzled.

Let’s not forget that Elon Musk once stole photos of someone else’s dog off Twitter and tried to pass it off as a photo of his own dog! https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/07/style/elon-musk-memes.html

@taylorlorenz personally, I’d like to forget as much as possible about the character that is Mr. Musk. He is literally becoming the caricature of himself and seems happy about it. Go figure. Billionaire behaves badly. Can that be the last story or headline we read about him. If everyone would stop talking about him maybe he would just go away. We are never moving to mars, can we just agree to move away from the subject of elon musk?
