Director Claims Tesla Designs Stolen by Elon Musk

In a surprising twist, the director of the 2004 sci-fi film I, Robot, Alex Proyas, has accused Elon Musk of borrowing his film's designs for Tesla's latest innovations. This claim emerged after Tesla unveiled its new Cybercab, an autonomous robot-taxi, which Proyas believes bears a striking resemblance to the futuristic cars featured in his movie. The film, starring Will Smith, explored a world where robots are part of everyday life, set in Chicago in 2035. Proyas took to social media to voice his concerns, sparking interest and debate among fans and tech enthusiasts.

Proyas' Accusations

Alex Proyas shared images on social media comparing the Cybercab to the vehicles in I, Robot. He humorously asked Musk, "Hey Elon, can I have my designs back please?" This playful yet pointed remark highlights the similarities he perceives between the two designs.

Additionally, Proyas posted side-by-side images of Tesla's robot, Optimus, and the robots from his film, further emphasizing his belief that Tesla's designs are inspired by his work.

Background on I, Robot

I, Robot was released long before Tesla's projects were even known to the public. The movie centers around Del Spooner, played by Will Smith, who investigates a murder possibly committed by robotic police forces in a futuristic Chicago.

The film's depiction of advanced robotics and autonomous vehicles has left a lasting impression on audiences and seems to resonate with today's technological advancements.

Tesla's Response

As of now, neither Elon Musk nor Tesla has publicly responded to Proyas' comments. However, the discussion has caught the attention of many, sparking curiosity about the potential influence of science fiction on real-world technology.
