Elon Musk’s new line of Tesla robots and vehicles has critics calling the billionaire a copycat.
The Tesla CEO is being accused of ripping off the designs and aesthetic of I, Robot, a 2004 sci-fi classic, for the company’s droid, called Optimus, and its two fully self-driving cars, the robovan and cybercab.
I, Robot director Alex Proyas called out Musk for allegedly copying him following Tesla’s “We, Robot” unveiling event for the new products on Oct. 10.
