XatolosElon Musk accused of copying designs by I, Robot director
Death_EquityI don’t see the connection. The Elonbot is about as generic a humanoid robot design can be and the I, Robot one looks cool, has a face, and isn’t controlled by a human as part of some sort of investment con.
The self driving cars has no connection either. The Elonmobile looks like a smooth car and has a degree of autonomous driving and the I, Robot cars look cool, can drive up vertical surfaces, and hardly ever kills their occupants.
It’s because he called the event ‘We, Robot’. So it’s fairly obvious that he wants to draw parallels between Tesla’s humanoids and the robots within the movie.
That’s a problem though because the movie isn’t in a piece of original work. It’s based on the book by the same title by Isaac Asimov. I assume it’s out of copy right now not really sure.
Anyway the point is neither the movie nor anything Elon Musk may or may not have done is the original work and since the original work has been replicated many times it’s fairly obvious no one owns the copyright. Much like how no one owns the copyright to the tripods in war of the worlds anymore which is why there’s been so many adaptations over the years.
