'I, Robot' director claims Elon Musk is STEALING his ideas - as he posts incredibly similar photos of his sci-fi creations and Tesla's

Elon Musk officially unveiled more futuristic Tesla devices last week, but it seems not everyone is thrilled. Australian-Egyptian filmmaker Alex Proyas has accused the billionaire tech boss of poaching his ideas from his 2004 film'I, Robot'. On X (Twitter), Proyas posted photos of futuristic tech from'I, Robot' next to three remarkably-similar Tesla products – Optimus, Robovan and Robotaxi. Proyas also included the message: 'Hey Elon, Can I have my designs back please?' Robovan and Robotaxi were unveiled on Thursday at a Tesla event dubbed'We Robot' – a blatant reference to the film.
