Musk and 'Blade Runner 2049' Still at It

 

Musk

As a follow up to our post of 10/21/24 where we discussed the lawsuit being brought against Elon Musk for the illegal use of the 'Blade Runner 2049' image, it appears that Elon had a three-word response - "that movie sucked", which he posted on the X social-media platform.

Musk, Tesla, and Warner Bros. Discovery are accused of "misappropriating the intellectual property" of Alcon Entertainment's 'Blade Runner 2049' during the promotional launch of Tesla's Robotaxi self-driving 'cypercab'.

Released in 2017, 'Blade Runner 2049' grossed $267 million globally and won two Oscars, for Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects.

CMG still can't figure out what the suit is all about. The so-called infringed image does not convey 'Blade Runner' upon view.

The lower image was the one used in the Tesla promotion
