Elon Musk has long established himself as a pioneer in pushing technological boundaries and coming up with innovations that we could only dream of having. While much of his innovations are applauded, his latest futuristic tech found itself an unlikely critic, the director of Will Smith’s 2004 flick,I, Robot.
Musk recently unveiled two techs, a futuristic Robovan and a humanoid robot Optimus, which bear a striking resemblance to the tech featured in the film. While Musk has yet to respond, fans are having fun blasting director Alex Proyas for his ‘controversial’ take.

Having dubbed the event as ‘We, Robot’, inspired by Isaac Asimov’s 1950 short story collection, the details of the event soonled to mockeryby the public (viaThe Hollywood Reporter). The reason for this was many found great similarities between the tech giant’s latest inventions andWill Smith‘s 2004 filmI, Robot, which is also loosely based on Asimov’s work.
Furthermore, things took a turn for the worse when the movie’s director, Alex Proyos, tweeted about the same, asking Musk to give him his designs back. Although he meant it more as a joke, fans were quick to react and berated the genius inventor and businessman for allegedly copying the designs from the film.

Alex Proyos’s Will Smith starter flick,I, Robot,was based in 2035 Chicago, filled with futuristic advanced tech and robots. While the film received mixed reviews, it was praised for its tech designs back when it was released in 2004. So, when Tesla unveiled its latest cybercab, robovan, and robot Optimus, many were quick to notice the similarities between the film and the real-life tech.

After Proyos took to X (previously Twitter) to hilariously call out Musk for apparently stealing his designs, fans took to the comment section and went on to criticize the business mogul.
Not a single original idea
Elon has no ideas of his own… and no leadership ability.
Especially since Elon literally coined it “We, Robot” with a picture of a theater.
Elon and his ilk are primarily thieves and take credit for design and engineering work done by others.
Seems like all they did was copy and paste.Lmaooooo. Send in those lawsuits Alex
While most fans failed to understand the humor in Proyas’ take and instead criticized the director, there is no denying that many are having fun trolling Elon Musk. Although the designs look somewhat similar, one can’t help but state the fact that yesterday’s fantasies are finally becoming a reality, and maybe fans should rejoice over the fact.
I, Robotis available to be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.
