Elon Musk was accused of stealing designs for his Cybercab and Optimus Robot. The accusation came from the director of I Robot, Alex Proyas. Proyas film was released back in 2004 way before Tesla’s design was revealed. 

The director of I Robot took to his Twitter and asked Elon Musk to return his designs. In return, he probably meant for his film to be credited for the designs.

Musk or Tesla have not yet commented on this matter. However, the director did face backlash from the people for his audacious claim which could have been mere inspiration.

One user shared the same style of collage sourcing the designs way back before the I, Robot release.  He replied with this collage on the director’s tweet saying “The original humanoid robot From Metropolis, Art Deco era locomotives, and the 1939 Duesenberg Coupe would all like a word.”
