‘I, Robot’ Director Slams Elon Musk For Seemingly Stealing Designs For Robots & Vehicles From Film
Elon Musk is being called out over his lack of originality.
As reported, Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk recently unveiled some new creations at the “We, Robot” Tesla event held at Warner Bros. Studios. The Optimus robot is a humanoid companion that will help people with their home-related tasks. If interested, you’ll reportedly be able to bring one home at the end of this year for a price tag ranging between $20,000-$30,000. Elon Musk also showcased the Cybercab robotaxi and a prototype of Tesla’s Robovan.

Videos from the tech event quickly circulated around the internet, and many couldn’t help but notice that the upcoming products from Tesla look a lot like the robots and vehicles featured in the 2004 film “I, Robot.”
The movie’s director, Alex Proyas, was among those who questioned the inspiration behind Elon’s designs. Posting on x a side-by-side of the robots and vehicles from the film next to the robots and vehicles Elon recently debuted, Alex Proyas wrote,
“Hey Elon, Can I have my designs back please?”
Elon has yet to respond to Proyas.
