The company says it denied Musk's request to use imagery from its film because of his “extreme political and social views.”
The production company behind “Blade Runner 2049” filed a lawsuit Monday against Elon Musk and Tesla, accusing them of copyright infringement while promoting a new self-driving car.
In its lawsuit, Alcon Entertainment says Musk used AI-generated imagery mirroring scenes from its 2017 sci-fi film while presenting Tesla’s new autonomous Robotaxi at a marketing event earlier this month. Producers had denied his request to do so.
“He did it anyway,” the suit alleges, adding that the company denied Musk’s request due to the tech mogul’s “extreme political and social views” that occasionally veer into “hate speech.” Musk enthusiastically endorsed Donald Trump for president, appearing alongside him at a rally earlier this month, and has espoused transphobic views.
He literally references the movie saying the title as a clearly “Blader Runner” image is on screen. Are you meaning to be obtuse or are you just really that dim?

They’re suing him for copying scenes shot for shot from their movie after they told him explicitly not to
I just watched his presentation here. He did no such thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVzzNof3wqU
Do you have a video that shows this?

The subject is copyright infringement. Do try to keep up.
Which is exactly what he did.
I’ll assume it’s the latter at this point.
There is nothing in Musks presentation that infringes copyright. You’re an idiot.
This was productive and I’m sure you convinced a whole lot of people
